KCR to launch new schemes at public meeting in Mancherial on June 9

ADILABAD: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s scheduled public meeting in Mancherial on June 9 has assumed importance as he is likely to formally launch the 2nd phase of his schemes for distribution of sheep, house sites to the poor and a Rs 1 lakh financial assistance to BCs who depend on their caste-related vocations.

The meeting is to be held at the centre of the coal belt area spread over Mancherial, Peddapalli, and Jayashankar-Bhupalapalli districts, in the run-up to the assembly elections before the year-end.
