Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday said several surrounding villages have sought merger with the Future City and the state government would consider their inclusion if the respective gram panchayats passed relevant resolutions and submit them formally. He directed officials to conduct gram sabhas and ensure that villages were brought under the jurisdiction of Future City and its police commissionerate in accordance with the wishes of the residents.
The Chief Minister was speaking after laying the foundation stone for the Future City police commissionerate office at Mirkhanpet, and reiterated that Bharat Future City would be developed on par with global cities like Singapore, Tokyo and New York City. He assured farmers that the government would safeguard their interests by offering good compensation for land acquired for the project, which would enable them to purchase land in surrounding areas.
Appealing to farmers to cooperate in land acquisition, the Chief Minister said the government could complete the project within two years if the process was expedited. He warned that delays in land acquisition would only lead to escalation of project costs. Drawing parallels with earlier infrastructure growth, he noted that land prices around Future City would surge, similar to the rise witnessed after the development of Cyberabad, the Outer Ring Road and the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad.
Revanth Reddy announced that the office of the Future City Development Authority (FCDA) would be inaugurated by June 2 and stated that the government would support farmers whose land is acquired. “Our government will ensure that no one suffers,” he said, adding that industry minister D. Sridhar Babu would be available to resolve local grievances. Officials were instructed to address the concerns of the poor and underprivileged with compassion. The government will also conduct regular review meetings and directly invite investments into Future City.
Calling for public support to transform Future City into a world-class destination, the Chief Minister recalled that similar doubts were raised during the construction of the Outer Ring Road, which has now emerged as a landmark infrastructure project for Hyderabad.
Taking a dig at the Opposition BRS, the CM accused it of spreading misinformation to obstruct development. He likened such efforts to mythological attempts to disrupt a ‘yagna’, stating that “Shukracharya (referring to former chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao), staying in the farmhouse, had deployed Maricha and Subahu (referring to K.T. Rama Rao and Harish Rao) to sabotage development." He said BRS leaders spoke while inebriated and that their comments need not be taken seriously.
Reiterating that Future City would be positioned as a prime global investment hub, the Chief Minister stated that out of seven bullet train projects sanctioned across the country, three have been allocated to Telangana. These include proposed high-speed rail corridors connecting Hyderabad to Bengaluru, Shamshabad to Pune, and the Shamshabad–Amaravati–Chennai line. He said these major projects would transform Rangareddy district into a major growth hub.
