CM encourages WALKING exercises

Surely Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy must have had the recent hike in petrol prices at the back of his mind when he on Sunday called upon all sections of people to take to regular walking to prevent stress and keep diseases at bay.

Talking to media persons after participating as Chief Guest in a get-to-gether organized by Kasu Brahmananda Reddy National Park Walkers Association at Cyber Gardens at Madhapur, the Chief Minister shared his experiences of walking with the association members. According to some of the walking enthusiasts present there, the programme’s schedule may have been set a long time ago, but they were most opportune for the embattled Head of Government.

It may be mentioned here that Mr Kiran Kumar Reddy’s opponents, Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu and Kadapa leader YS Jaganmohan Reddy had launched stirs on the high prices of essential commodities against his government just a day earlier.

Mr Kiran Kumar said he stopped coming to park for walking after become Chief Minister due to security reasons. Association members submitted a memorandum to redress problems in the park. He directed the forest department officials to take steps to improve the pathway for walkers without disturbing environs and beauty of the park.

Senior citizen Dr Ramanaidu, Raghava, ACB Joint Director Ramesh Reddy and others felicitated the Chief Minister. On the occasion, the Chief Minister handed over the certificates and trophies to winners in the various competitions conducted in different categories. Labour Welfare Minister Danam Nagender, State Cultural Council Chairman Ramanamurthy and association members were present.
