Krishna delta farmers felicitate Chief Minister Naidu for bringing water through Pattiseema
They lauded him for ensuring water security for Andhra Pradesh by successfully diverting 500 tmc ft of water to the Krishna delta over the last 11 years
The Senior Citizens Friends’ Welfare Association has urged Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan to reconsider the move to transfer KSSM staff to the new Department of Senior Citizens. In a letter to the Chief Minister, the association warned that if the decision is not reversed, all services provided by KSSM would cease. KSSM, employing a limited number of staff, had been responsible for disbursing ₹250 crore annually to nearly 5.5 lakh beneficiaries, including the elderly, disabled, and destitute women.
The association highlighted schemes like Vayomithram, Aswasakiranam, and Snehapoorvam that aimed to integrate the most vulnerable into society. They urged the government to bolster KSSM by implementing schemes in underserved areas rather than redeploying KSSM personnel. If existing staff is insufficient, the association suggested hiring new employees from other departments.
