Pawan Kalyan To Meet AP CM Chandrababu Naidu On July 31

Amaravati: Actor-politician Pawan Kalyan will meet Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on July 31 to discuss the kidney-related diseases in the Uddanam region of Srikakulam district in Andhra Pradesh.

The actor who toured Uddhanam region last year consoled several people suffering from kidney-related issues in Srikakulam. According to reports, his party is also making arrangements for a visit by experts from Harvard University to examine patients from Srikakulam villages.

Over 4,500 people in the village died of kidney diseases in the past ten years. It was reported that each family in the area had at least one person suffering from a kidney ailment. A team from Harvard University had conducted a research in 2016 and found that excessive silica in water is the main cause for the disease. The team stated that the water was not suitable for drinking and cultivating.

After the problem and its cause was highlighted by various NGOs and activists, the AP chief minister had announced several measures to address the problem but no progress was made till date.

Meanwhile, the announcement of the Pawan's meeting with Chandrababu Naidu has triggered public curiosity.
