Hyderabad: Files in the Chief Minister’s Office are moving at a jet speed. As Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy is busy working out strategies for his next political move, his secretaries have tasked themselves with the responsibility of file clearance on a fast track mode.
Over 1,000 files, which are very important in nature, were cleared in the past two days.
A majority of the files pertaining to irrigation, revenue, panchayatraj, rural development, medical and health, education, roads & building department have been signed by the Chief Minister.
The important files cleared by Kiran Reddy included the one related to eight megawatt hydro power project on Somasila reservoir. The project is being promoted by Balaji Energy Private Limited (BEPL) owned by Congress MP M Srinivas Reddy at a cost of more than Rs 100 crore.
Revenue Minister N Raghuveera Reddy had reportedly spent three hours in CM’s Camp Office to get Chief Minister’s nod for some pending files. According to sources, the files pending from two to three years in revenue department were cleared. There were files related to land allotments to various firms and individuals.
