CM Revanth Reddy reiterated that the government has set up the Hyderabad Disaster Response and Assets Monitoring and Protection Agency (HYDRA) to free lakes from those who have illegally occupied them and said there are no political motives behind the creation of the agency, but only a commitment to protect nature.
September 17 is the day the erstwhile princely state of Hyderabad under Nizam rule merged with the Indian Union in 1948. The day is interpreted differently by different parties in Telangana.
The ruling Congress government celebrated it as ‘Telangana Praja Palana Dinotsavam’. The BJP calls it ‘Hyderabad Liberation Day’, while the previous BRS regime had celebrated the day as ‘National Integration Day’.
He further said there would be several issues between the states and the Centre in the federal system and that he would be going to Delhi to get the state’s due share in taxes. Listing out the state government’s initiatives for youth and women, Reddy said Telangana is moving forward with a two-pronged strategy for youth development even as strict measures are being followed to control and eradicate drugs.
