Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Cu­mu­to/Man­zanil­la and Par­lia­men­tary Sec­re­tary in the Min­istry of Pub­lic Util­i­ties, Shiv­an­na Sam, has as­sured her con­stituents she will work to ease the bur­dens faced by rur­al com­mu­ni­ties.

Speak­ing at the Vish­wanath Hin­du So­cial & Cul­tur­al Or­gan­i­sa­tion Inc Vic­to­ry Cel­e­bra­tion and Her­itage Month event at Vish­wanath Mandir in San­gre Chiq­ui­to, Sam said she un­der­stood the strug­gles be­cause she had ex­pe­ri­enced them her­self.

“I have been through this. I know what it is like to walk through un­kept and un­der­de­vel­oped roads in in­clement weath­er at 3am to catch a maxi to get to school be­cause ve­hi­cles refuse to tra­verse the road,” she said.
