Naidu Pushes for Technological Innovations and Rapid Relief Measures in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has mandated immediate measures to ensure adequate drinking water supply and swift services across the state's districts. He has approved Rs 1 crore for each district from the Real Time Gross Settlement centre to facilitate tankers and emergency borewell repairs.

Naidu pushed for the adoption of innovative technologies by suggesting vehicle dealers to act as registration authorities and strengthening service delivery. By establishing an expert advisory council, the Chief Minister aims to increase the use of Artificial Intelligence in governance, with plans to host a workshop for enhancing drone utilization.

Amid rising temperatures, the government has increased distribution of water, buttermilk, and ORS to combat heatstroke. Naidu called for greater public engagement and efficient departmental monitoring, urging regular field visits to support agricultural markets and using call centres for public feedback.
