He alleged that BRS leaders were spewing venom at the Musi project and were misleading the people.
“The officials have recognised the hardships of those people living along the Musi river. A total of 33 official teams visited slum areas and enquired about their problems. Those people have been assured the double-bedroom houses and other compensation for vacating their homes. Majority of the people are extending their support to the government, but the opposition parties are creating obstacles to the project,” Revanth Reddy disclosed.
He further stated that the State government has taken up the Musi rejuvenation project that will determine the future of Telangana State.
“Five prestigious companies are combinely hired to prepare a detailed project report regarding the Musi rejuvenation project. The state government has sofar spent only Rs.141 crores for the project .
The DPR will be given in 18 months, estimating the cost of project and other details, including generation of employment, mobilisation of revenue and timeline of the project,” Revanth Reddy disclosed.
He said the State government will go with the aim of providing a better life to the people and Hyderabad will be developed to compete with the world.
