School buses for Chandrababu's show

* Rs 40 lakh worth of fuel to be filled.

The officials and leaders in Chittoor district are struggling to mobilize people for the opening of  'Neeru-Chettu' scheme in Chittoor. 

Chandrababu Naidu will be inaugurating the scheme in Chittoor on Thursday and local leaders have received orders from the top leadership to make the programme a success.As a result, the local leaders have roped in 300 school and college managements to deploy some 500 buses to mobilise the crowds. Interestingly only a few days ago, the  government warned the schools not to use school buses for commercial purposes.But these orders have now been put in the backburner and the officials are deploying school buses. Significantly, the fuel for these buses would be filled by the petrol bunks, which will be reimbursed later.The estimated fuel cost is around Rs 40 lakh.
