Palla meets Union Steel Minister, discusses key VSP issues

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president and Gajuwaka MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao met Union Minister for Steel H.D. Kumaraswamy at RINL Guest House on Sunday (March 22) and held comprehensive discussions on a range of critical issues pertaining to the Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, eliciting a positive response from the Centre.

During the meeting, Mr. Srinivasa Rao conveyed his deep concern over the closure of Vimala Vidyalaya in Ukkunagaram, noting that the abrupt halt of operations, owing to the non-renewal of the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA), had left teaching and non-teaching staff in acute financial distress while jeopardising the academic prospects of students. He urged immediate intervention to safeguard employment and ensure the prompt disbursal of pending salaries.
