He said it was his endeavour to see to it that none suffered from hunger pangs during the lockdown. Similar distribution for fishermen in the South Assembly constituency would be taken up in the next few days.

Mr. Satyanarayana had so far distributed five kg vegetables each to 16,000 persons in Arilova and other areas spending ₹16 lakh, a statement issued by the MP said.
