No regularization of structures in FTL, Buffer Zone: CM Revanth Reddy

“I am appealing to those who encroached lakes to voluntarily clear the place or else such illegal structures would be razed ruthlessly and the land sharks would be sent to jail,” he said while speaking after reviewing the passing out parade at Telangana State Police Academy.

Stating that some persons were speaking unnecessarily against HYDRAA, he categorically stated that there would be no question of regularizing the structures that came up in Full Tank Level and Buffer Zone. The city was experiencing floods because of encroachments in lakes, tanks and nalas, affecting the normal life of the poor people and to prevent this situation the administration has launched a crackdown against illegal structures in water bodies.

The encroachments in nalas would be demolished without any hesitation, Revanth Reddy said, adding that the Musi River would be cleansed by clearing encroachments. Those residing in permanent structures in Musi nala would get 2BHKs after clearing structures in the nala.

All the 11,000 people, who would be rendered homeless after demolition of structures in the Musi nalas, would be rehabilitated. Referring to the role of police in the State, Revanth Reddy said a separate State for Telangana was accomplished after making several sacrifices.

The dream of unemployed youth was not unfulfilled even after separate Telangana was carved out and the Congress government was formed with the support of the people, he explained. After the Congress came to power, as many as 30,000 vacant posts were filled up after a complete overhaul of Telangana State Public Service Commission.

A favourable decision was taken in support of unemployed youth by cancelling the Group-II exam, he explained, adding that the government’s decision enabled the youth to prepare for the exam happily. Making clear to the police that the drugs must be dealt with iron hand, Revanth Reddy exuded confidence that the State would soon be free from drug menace.

As police would always be in the forefront in case of any problem, a A residential police school would be established for the children of the police in 50 acres in Hyderabad and one more school in 50 acres in Warangal. “We need concrete policing but not cosmetic policing and friendly policing is only for the victims but not for criminals,” he said. Revanth Reddy said the Congress government would get investments and also accord priority to farmers, weavers and toddy tappers.
