Chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy said his government would soon send proposals to the Centre for setting up a second port-cum-ship building project in Andhra Pradesh.

Addressing the Independence Day parade on Wednesday, Reddy said his government was committed to developing the farm sector with adequate resources for expanding irrigation facilities in addition to providing access to credit at zero interest rate for farmers.
