CM Naidu held detailed discussions on security in Visakhapatnam, Machilipatnam, and Nagaland, urging ministers to prioritize coastal safety.
The cabinet approved increased financial aid for fishermen during the fishing ban period and plans for mega tourism events. The municipal department greenlit 281 infrastructure projects under the hybrid annuity system. Additionally, the cabinet decided to withdraw three amendment bills pending at the Centre, passed during the YSRCP regime.
