Naidu Sets 10-Day Deadline to Resolve Sand Distribution Issues

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has taken a firm stand on resolving the ongoing issues in the free sand distribution program. This initiative was one of his key promises to the public during pre-poll campaigns. However, since its implementation, the program has faced logistical challenges, including sand shortages and the presence of middlemen.

The Free Sand Program Faces Challenges

The free sand policy, introduced shortly after the NDA government was formed, aimed to provide sand at no cost to eligible beneficiaries. However, logistical issues such as inadequate supply and the interference of middlemen have hindered its smooth implementation. These problems have raised concerns among the public and put pressure on the government to address the loopholes.

Chandrababu Naidu’s Aggressive Approach

During a recent cabinet meeting, CM Chandrababu Naidu expressed his frustration with the current state of the program. He emphasized that the free sand initiative is one of his flagship promises, and he expects flawless execution. Naidu firmly stated that there is no room for negligence or corruption in this critical scheme.

10-Day Deadline to Fix Issues

To ensure the program runs efficiently, Naidu set a strict 10-day deadline for officials to address the issues in the sand distribution system. He instructed authorities to ensure adequate sand supply at the ground level and eliminate the middlemen system that has caused delays and exploitation.

Private Sand Reaches Approved

In a bold move to streamline the sand distribution process, Naidu also approved the creation of private sand reaches across the state. This step is expected to help resolve supply issues and ensure that sand reaches every eligible person without hindrance.

Naidu’s Commitment to the Public

Chandrababu Naidu’s swift action underscores his commitment to the people of Andhra Pradesh. His goal is to ensure that every eligible citizen benefits from the free sand program without facing obstacles. With his aggressive stance and the new measures in place, the government hopes to fully address the current challenges and fulfill its promise to the public.
