Key Cabinet meet today
Hyderabad: As the TRS government is set to complete the first year in office next week, Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has convened a key Cabinet meeting at 4pm on Tuesday. While there are a host of issues on the agenda, highly placed sources indicate that the Cabinet is likely to clear a platter of goodies for weaker sections and some new schemes which he plans to unveil during the state formation day celebrations.
The state Cabinet would discuss at length the action plan for two-bedroom housing scheme, which the government is hoping to kick-start in a big way this year. It may be mentioned here that KCR had extensively toured several bastis during Swachh Hyderabad programme and promised two-bedroom flats with all amenities to the urban poor.
Already a model-housing colony is nearing completion at Bhoiguda, Secunderabad and the CM promised to build similar flats in various places falling under Secunderabad, Sanathnagar and Khairatabad Assembly constituencies. KCR is expected to seek views of his council of ministers so that the flagship housing scheme kicks off smoothly in ten districts.
Other key items listed in the agenda include preparations in ten districts for the state formation day fete (to be held from June 2-7), job notifications for vacancies identified in various departments as well as new recruitments for the Drinking Water Grid and upcoming power projects in the state. Also government’s steps for regularization of contract staff would figure in discussions.
Already various departments has begun scrutinizing credentials of contract staff to prepare final list, which would be submitted to the government at the earliest.With the government set to unveil the much-talked about industrial policy on June 7, the Cabinet will deliberate on the IT policy aimed at wooing big players to invest in the state.
IT Minister K Tarakarama Rao is returning home on Tuesday after a tour of United States where Telangana inked a deal with software giant Google. KTR showcased investment opportunities in the state to various software, hardware and electronic companies in the US during his two-week tour.
The Cabinet will also take a decision on land purchase policy, which would enable the revenue department to acquire small bits of lands for various purposes without waiting for land acquisition formalities that was causing inordinate delay at times. The TRS government has decided to hand over pattas for the poor who applied for regularization under GO-58 on the eve of state formation day.
KCR would be briefing the Council of Ministers about the foundation stone for new constructions at Yadagirigutta which is likely during the first week of June, foundation stone for the Yadadri Power Plant at Damaracharla, besides inaugurating the Water Grid Pylon at Choutuppal.
