Rs 90,000 crore Worth Road Works In Progress In Telangana: Deputy CM
He promised the public that another BT road would be sanctioned from Nacharam village via Julurupadu to link the Tallada–Bhadrachalam main road, benefiting Gannavaram, Nacharam and Bhadrathanda areas
Nalgonda: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has said road development works worth approximately Rs 90,000 crore are being undertaken by the Telangana government to improve connectivity between the rural and urban areas in Telangana.
Launching the works on Sunday for a road from Nacharam to Enkoor in Wyra assembly constituency, taken up with Rs 44 crore, he said the road would improve connectivity to the Sri Venkateshwara Swamy temple at Nacharam.
He promised the public that another BT road would be sanctioned from Nacharam village via Julurupadu to link the Tallada–Bhadrachalam main road, benefiting Gannavaram, Nacharam and Bhadrathanda areas.
He said that as part of the preparations for the Godavari pushkarams, the government was spending Rs 2,000 crore on the development of riverbank areas and temples along the Godavari. Some Rs 276 crore had been allocated for the development of Sree Seetha Ramachandraswamy temple at Bhadrachalam and Rs 354 crore for the Sri Gnana Saraswati Temple at Basara.
Development works were being undertaken at temples across the state at an estimated cost of Rs 2,500 crore, he said.
Explaining the welfare schemes of the state government, he said distribution of fine rice to 1.06 crore families, free medical treatment of up to Rs 10 lakh per family under the Rajiv Aarogyasri, Rythu Bharosa assistance to 71 lakh farmers and free electricity up to 200 units for 53 lakh families would improve the living conditions of the poor.
Apart from these, the Congress government has also taken up work on Indiramma Houses to turn the dream of the poor people to own a house, he said.
The deputy CM said despite a rise in electricity demand to more than 20,000mw, the state government would ensure uninterrupted power supply. The state, he said, had inherited a debt burden of approximately Rs 8.20 lakh crore accumulated over the previous ten years.
The present government, he said, is required to spend around `6,600 crore every month towards repayment of principal and interest of these loans. Despite the financial constraints, the state government was continuing with the welfare schemes while taking forward the development projects.
