Telangana CM overlooking objections over districts: Congress MLA Aruna
Hyderabad: Taking strong objection to Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s reported statement that Gadwal will not be considered in the proposed new districts, senior Congress MLA D.K. Aruna on Wednesday wanted to know the sin committed by the people of Gadwal committed against the government or the TRS.
Addressing a media conference here, Ms Aruna quoted reports which said that the Chief Minister had taken exception to over 6,000 objections/suggestions made by one person on the website launched by the government on the new districts formation, suggesting that Gadwal be considered as a new district.
“How can one person send thousands of suggestions to the website? It is not possible and must be false. Let the government inquire into this, I have no objection. However, taking this as a pretext for refusing district status for Gadwal is not acceptable. Why is the CM so vengeful against the Gadwal people? What sin did they commit?” the Congress MLA asked.
She said when aspirations of the Telangana people for a separate state were met by the Congress, why could not the CM concede the genuine and just demand of Gadwal people for creation of a new district. Ms Aruna vowed that her agitation demanding Gadwal district would continue.
Industrialisation of new districts to be the focus
Rapid industrialisation will be the main focus of the state government to improve growth in new districts. District-specific industrial parks will come up to encourage medium and small industries.
The TS Industrial and Infrastructure Corporation Ltd has been asked to set up new offices in the headquarters of each new district to focus on industrial growth, develop industrial parks and make land allotments accordingly.
At present, industrial development is concentrated in the four districts surrounding Hyderabad. The government wants to take the benefits of industrialisation to new districts by encouraging district-specific industries.
TSIIC which readied a land bank in all the existing 10 districts barring Hyderabad for industrial development has initiated the process to re-notify the land bank in new districts.
