VIJAYAWADA: The State Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday approved a slew of policies and schemes to fulfil the promises the YSRC made to the people ahead of elections.
Apart from taking the crucial decision of merging the APSRTC with the State government, which paves way for treating the staff of the corporation on a par with those of the government, the Cabinet gave nod to the new sand policy, cancellation of the Rs 3,216-crore Polavaram hydel power project contract awarded to Navayuga Engineering Company Ltd, enhancement of financial assistance under YSR Pelli Kanuka and increasing the number of TTD Trust Board members to 25 from 19.
