Giving a new twist to the controversy over Krishna District Collector Babu. A’s style of functioning, Irrigation Minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao on Thursday directed the officials to stop attending weekly video conference convened by the Collector.

Extending support to the heads of the government departments, the Minister has given credence to a section of officials who came out openly against the Collector’s style of functioning. The officials complained that they were subjected to excessive work pressure due to prolonged video conference.

Addressing the officials at the Zilla Parishad General Body meeting here, Mr. Umamaheswara Rao stated that no head of the department should waste his/her time by turning up at the weekly video conference convened by the Collector or the Joint Collector.
