VMRDA makes effective efforts to bring in changes in Master Plan 2041
As part of the exercise, even minute lapses of the plan drafted during the YSRCP's tenure are now being scrutinised so that it becomes more people-centric. Back in 2021, the old draft was prepared in favour of the YSRCP leaders without causing any damage to their properties and ensuring that the land prices surge over time.
Following repeated objections raised by the people, the VRMDA officials are keen on responding to them. A technical committee was formed to look into the details of the master plan and re-draft it in a fair and transparent manner. Earlier, several roads were designed to benefit a section of realtors and supporters of the YSRCP. After the NDA government came to power, 'praja darbar' has been organised every Monday by the VMRDA. 'A majority of grievances received through the praja darbar were related to the VMRDA Master Plan 2041. Residents complain that a number of their properties have been impacted due to the master plan design. People are not aware of the master plan drafted earlier and its intricacies. With the inclusion of their objections and suggestions now, it is going to be more people-centric and not political-centric,' assured MV Pranav Gopal, VMRDA chairperson.
Also, awareness programmes will be initiated to educate corporators about the revisited master plan, the chairperson told The Hans India.
As part of the master plan, the road that extends from Dabagardens Dr. BR Ambedkar statue to PEN School junction is going to be expanded to 30-mt from the present 18-mt. Likewise, the 24-mt Siripuram Dutt Island to Asilmetta junction road is going to be expanded to 45-mt. And many more such road-widening works are being considered in the revisited master plan.
The road expansion works which did not take shape in the YSRCP's government will now be initiated. In alignment with the plan, the exercise would witness removal of several private, public and government assets.

Double standards of Centre and State govt. exposed one more time, alleges KTR
HYDERABAD Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) working president K.T. Rama Rao has ridiculed the double standards of the NDA government and the National Dam Safety Authority (NDSA), stating that they are not acting on the sinking of the coffer dam of the Polavaram project for the second time. In a statement, Mr. Rao said on Saturday that the NDSA had not taken up investigation into the washing away of the Polavaram cofferdam in 2020 that happened for the first time, even after being asked to go into the matter. The NDA government gave national project status to Polavaram and funded its construction - but is not looking into the quality aspects of construction, he said. During the run-up to the last Assembly elections in Telangana, a few piers of the Medigadda Barrage of Kaleshwaram project sank and damaged the structure under suspicious circumstances, but neither the BJP leaders nor those of the Congress, who had been indulging in mudslinging on Kaleshwaram project continuously, and terming it as 'kuleshwaram' (a collapsed project) repeatedly - had raised an issue on Polavaram, Mr. Rao said. He sought to know if the BJP and the Congress have the guts to term Polavaram as 'kulavaram' since its coffer dam was washed away once and sunk for the second time. In the second instance, it sunk for 10 meters width and about 8 meters deep, and the Andhra Pradesh government had taken up repairs on a war-footing silently, he said. On the other hand, the 'foolishness' of the Congress government is preventing it from taking up repairs on Medigadda Barrage and in giving water to the large ayacut depending on waters lifted from the point, even 20 months after coming to power, he said. Further, the NDSA proved its double standards by not taking up investigation into the Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) tunnel collapse in February that buried eight workers, technicians and engineers alive. It is also indicative of the Congress-BJP conspiracy against Kaleshwaram, he alleged.
