Hyderabad 12th June 2021: I have been watching the services and support activities offered by TANA for so many years and more so in the last 18 months in Covid crisis period. I personally know Mr. Jaya Sekhar Talluri, current TANA President as he belongs to Khammam District. I heard that TANA distributed Medical kits, Masks, Sanitizers earlier and also free food pockets, free provisions to needy people in both TS and AP States. Now TANA is distributing Oxygen Concentrators and Ventilators also to Hospitals and needy Organisations and NGOs. Govt of TS is also making lot of efforts in controlling covid on one side and promoting vaccination activity on other side. TS Govt is planning to invest Rs 10000 crores in the next two years in developing Health infrastructure. With a lot of appreciation, I am today participating in the distribution of Oxygen Concentrators. I appreciate and congratulate TANA for this ’ said Sri Ajay Kumar Puvvada, Minister for Transport , Govt of Telangana.
