Tandur MLA Manohar Reddy has pledged to advance the development of the fisheries sector in Vikarabad district. Speaking at a program organized by the Fisheries Department at the Kotpally reservoir, he oversaw the release of fish fry into the water under a 100% subsidy scheme aimed at supporting local fishers.
The MLA highlighted the significance of the Kotpally reservoir, noting that the initiative would greatly benefit the fishing community in the region. Addressing the challenges faced by local fishers, he assured them of prompt assistance. “If government funds are delayed, I will personally finance the provision of necessary equipment to ease their hardships,” he promised.
Reddy also addressed the incomplete construction of a building near the reservoir intended for local fishers. The structure, originally sanctioned under the previous government, has seen its progress stalled due to a lack of funds. He assured attendees that additional funding would be allocated to resume and complete the project without further delays.
Several local leaders and officials were present at the event, including representatives from the Kotpally Market Committee and the Fisheries Department.
