Revanth Reddy Announces 35,000 New Government Jobs By Year-End

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy today made another significant announcement regarding government employment.

"Within the first two months of my administration, over 30,000 positions were filled. Now, we have decided to offer an additional 35,000 jobs by the end of this year," Reddy said.

The Chief Minister was speaking as the chief guest at the SI Passing Out Parade held at the Telangana Police Academy. He received the police honour guard and extended congratulations to the newly trained Sub-Inspectors (SIs), and said that the event was a cherished memory not only for the officers but for him as well.

Reflecting on the journey since the formation of Telangana State, the Chief Minister said that there was widespread dissatisfaction among students, activists and the public even until last year despite 10 years since the creation of the State. However, after his party came to power, significant strides had been made to create employment opportunities for the unemployed, he claimed. He also mentioned the reconstitution of the Telangana Public Service Commission, which he said was actively filling vacancies.

The Chief Minister also addressed concerns about the growing influence of drugs in Telangana, noting that some individuals had fallen prey to addiction. Claiming that the State government was taking strict action against drugs and narcotics, Reddy expressed full confidence in the police force, and urged it to tackle issues such as cybercrime and the drug menace with dedication.

"Being a police officer is not just a job; it's an emotion, a responsibility," he added.

In addition to addressing law enforcement issues, the Chief Minister also spoke about the government's efforts to boost investments in Telangana and support traditional occupations. He also proudly mentioned that, for the first time in the nation's history, Rs 18,000 crore had been directly deposited into farmers' accounts to support agricultural development.

Speaking about illegal encroachments, Reddy said firmly that there would be no leniency for those who encroached upon lakes. He said that HYDRA had been established with the sole purpose of reclaiming encroached lakes, and warned that irrespective of the status or power of the individuals involved, illegal constructions around lakes would be demolished. He urged the encroachers to vacate the areas voluntarily and hand them over to the irrigation department, or face immediate demolition. He emphasised that his administration was determined to clear all illegal constructions, including those in Full Tank Level (FTL) zones, buffer zones and nalas (drainage channels).

"If you go to the courts, we will fight there as well. We will remove your encroachments," he asserted.

Reddy also spoke about his plan to cleanse the Musi river with the assistance of the union government, removing encroachments and developing the riverfront. He promised business opportunities for the underprivileged along the riverfront.

Director General of Police (DGP) Jitender stressed the importance of police officers not only responding to crimes but also working to prevent them. He emphasized the need for constant technological updates and teamwork.

A total of 547 Sub-Inspectors participated in the passing-out parade at the Telangana Police Academy - 145 female and 402 male officers.
