Shelter for 60 beggars, orphans

GHMC Mayor, Bonthu Rammohan requested people to not distribute food to people living on the road sides as there is threat of spreading the virus among them. Rammohan requested them to instead coordinate with the GHMC to distribute food.  An enquiry also revealed that a few white card holders, who are beneficiaries of free rice and cash, are getting free food from donors.
