Minister Prabhakar said that construction is being accelerated following instructions from Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Bhatti Vikramarka and Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
The minister explained that previous administrative and technical issues regarding the allocated land have been resolved with help from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA).
He stated that the government aims to finish the projects within one year or based on the specific needs of each site. He added that the Backward Classes (BC) Welfare Department will conduct monthly reviews of the construction progress.
