''I am told that more doctors are required here and water is also not available in sufficient quantity. So we discussed all these issues and their solutions with the Municipal Commissioner,'' the Minister said.

The Minister also announced that the temporary shade, where cattle are kept will be converted into a permanent shade very shortly.
