Minister for Civil Supplies and Irrigation Uttam Kumar Reddy has declared that starting in April, every household holding a white ration card will be eligible to receive fine rice.

While addressing the media at Jan Pahad in the Palakaveedu mandal of Suryapet district on Sunday, Uttam Kumar Reddy, alongside Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy and former minister Jana Reddy, mentioned that he has already urged Chief Minister Revanth Reddy to initiate this program, particularly for his Assembly constituency of Huzurnagar.

He stated that the State government is committed to ensuring that 84 percent of the population in Telangana has access to fine rice, which is a primary objective of the Congress government. "As the Minister of Civil Supplies, this is a source of pride for me," said Uttam Kumar Reddy.

He criticised the previous BRS government for its inadequate management of the Krishna waters, asserting that the current administration will be steadfast on this matter. Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy inquired whether BRS MLA Jagdish Reddy, who has been in the ministerial role for a decade, is aware of the location of the SLBC. He noted, 'We urged the previous BRS government to complete the SLBC project, but they did not take any action.'

Reflecting on the unfortunate incident along the SLBC tunnel route, Komatireddy Venkat Reddy remarked, 'This accident has brought us significant sorrow. We will take measures to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future
