Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao on Saturday accused the previous regimes of ignoring the development of the Ranga Reddy district.
Addressing a review meeting on Mission Kakatiya at the Ranga Reddy District Collectorate, Harish Rao said that Ranga Reddy was among the most ignored districts in the united Andhra Pradesh.
He alleged that no planned development took place, and that successive governments had only encouraged encroachments in the entire district.
However, he assured that the Telangana Government would take steps to undo the injustices done to the district.
Rao said that as part of Mission Kakatiya, all lakes and tanks in the Ranga Reddy district would be revived, with the involvement of all sections of the society.
He said that the earlier regimes had appointed only one Superintending Engineer for every four districts, but that the Telangana Government would appoint a dedicated SE for each district.
The entire tender process would be decentralised and simplified, he stated.
He added that the officials would be given enough powers for the proper and timely execution of the projects.
Rao said that all public representatives, from the Sarpanches to the local MLAs, would be given a list of the lakes being restored in their areas. (INN)
