Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will release the second instalment of debt relief of Rs. 3,500 crore to 36.39 lakh farmers on Wednesday, according to Transport Minister Sidda Raghava Rao.

The Chief Minister, during his busy schedule, would also take part in the 150th year celebrations of the Jewett Memorial Baptist Church here and lay the foundation stone for the Rs. 40-crore scheme to augment drinking water supply from the Gundlakamma reservoir to the city, which is mainly dependent on the Krishna for replenishment of water to the summer storage tanks. Mr. Raghava Rao told the media here on Tuesday that despite resource crunch, the government had kept its poll promise and stood as a model for others in the implementation of the loan waiver scheme.
