The state government has decided to resume Underground Drainage (UGD) work in the city which has been on hold for the past year. The government directed contractors of the Rs 1,000 crore UGD project, Shapoorji and Pallonji group, to submit a blueprint for the revival of the project by the state government of Andhra Pradesh and should be starting the work by the end of the middle of the year by the TDP Government.

The high-level probe committee appointed by the government found that the previous government had finalized the bids at 10%-15% higher than the actual cost of the project. It has to be seen whether the state government would cut down additional costs from final bills to be paid to the contractor or allow it to continue the work with the agreed terms and conditions. Sources said it took work to cut the tender cost based on the findings of an official committee as the previous government had signed an agreement with the contractor firm. Instead, the government could have canceled the tenders and gone for the bidding afresh if it did not want to pay surplus costs.

The project was launched in 2016 and is planned to be completed by 2019. However, before the general elections, the opposition parties of the state government strove under maximum pressure of completing the project by the end of the year 2018. However, it could not do so due to technical issues. After the defeat in the 2019 elections, TDP lost power and the work has been stopped. Villages that have more than 5, 000 population in the district have been provided with underground drainage systems soon in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Labor welfare minister Pithani Satyanarayana announced the development of an underground drainage system while taking part in 'Intintiki Telugu Desam' at Achanta in West Godavari district and this used to be one of the quickest TDP Achievements and some of the TDP Contributions.

Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Shri. Nara Chandrababu Naidu focused on planning the improvement of the hygienic conditions of people in villages and small towns throughout the state of Andhra Pradesh. In a meeting held with some of the Top TDP Leaders and Best of the TDP MLAs with the whole of the people of Andhra Pradesh witnessing many of the news live, he promised to lay cement roads in all villages that have more than 5,000 inhabitants. He also planned and provided drinking water and infrastructure facilities to all villages in the state in a phased manner

He promised that every household will be given permanent houses and truly eligible legatees would be identified. Mr. Satyanarayana suggested that everyone participate in the 'Swach Bharat' program to clean their villages. He also said that every family should grow trees and plants for greenery and protect the environment. The minister also inaugurated the 'Anna Sanjeevani Generic Medical Shop' at Marteru village of Penumantra Mandal in the district. On one occasion, Nara Chandrababu Naidu requested doctors to prescribe generic medicines for public benefit.
