Hyderabad, August 16: In his Independence Day address, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao yesterday announced a 60-day special action plan to develop villages and towns in the state. The first phase of the 60-day programme is aimed at improving sanitation in villages and towns with the participation of people.
"Whether it is in the villages or towns, unhygienic conditions are the root cause for ill health. As part of this 60-day programme, officials and public representatives should change the topography of villages and towns with the participation of people." Said Rao.
The government has decided to release funds to the local bodies from the Finance Commission grants before the commencement of the 60-day action programme, which is under preparation.
"We can buy comfort with money, but when there is no equilibrium in the environment, no amount of money or artificial comforts can comfort us. We cannot buy rain, air and tranquillity. Green plants, clean environment will only give us comfortable life,” The CM added.
The CM noted that a new revenue bill would be introduced in the coming budget session of the assembly to replace the old one. He said the proposed act would give no room for corruption or laxity. Observing that the existing legislations would not be sufficient to offer good governance, the chief minister said there was a need to replace all the old acts."With the new acts, I am sure there will be clean, tidy villages and towns with lots of greenery,” The CM said.
“According to a report announced by the Centre, Telangana figured among the top states in gross state domestic product (GSDP) with 14.84 per cent growth rate during the 2018-19 financial year. IT exports increased from Rs. 52,000 crore to Rs. 1.10 lakh crore in the last five years,” The CM informed while talking about Telangana’s economy.
