‘Madhurannam’ a boon for attendants of patients at Guntur GGH
The Hindu
1,000 people are being provided food free of cost daily
The State government provides food to the patients undergoing treatment in the Government General Hospitals across the State. However, the attendants have to make their own arrangements even as they come from far-off places to get their dear ones treated. Usually, the pushcarts and street vendors come to their rescue.
However, it was a nightmare for the attendants to manage their food during the lockdown imposed to check the coronavirus pandemic.
Moved by the plights of the attendants of the patients during a visit to the Government General Hospital (GGH) in Guntur during the lockdown period last year, district in-charge Minister Cherukuvada Sri Ranganatha Raju decided to provide free food to the attendants from his own pocket.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
