Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan on Saturday directed officials to develop all 268 gram panchayats hosting the upcoming Godavari Pushkarams as model “Zero Liquid Discharge” panchayats to ensure that no sewage enters the river. Reviewing Pushkaram preparations through a video conference with district collectors and panchayat raj officials, he emphasised the need for pollution-free celebrations and comprehensive infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems, parking facilities, streetlights, changing rooms and crowd-management arrangements.
