Uttam sees red on SRDP
Coming down heavily on the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government for its policies, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that unscientific approach of the government would severely harm the green cover in the city, leading to environmental disaster.
​Hyderabad: Coming down heavily on the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government for its policies, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy said that unscientific approach of the government would severely harm the green cover in the city, leading to environmental disaster.
He said that the State government’s stance over developing the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP) would spell a doom for the parks. During a PowerPoint Presentation on SRDP by the Congress leader Marri Shashidhar Reddy at Gandhi Bhavan here on Saturday, Uttam Kumar Reddy alleged that the TRS government was destroying the KBR Park and other parks in the name of development.
He reiterated that the Congress would not be a mute spectator to the destructive policies of the government. “Developmental activities must be carried out keeping the public interests in view but the TRS has been eyeing only political and financial gains,” Uttam said.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said the State government had been centralising the resources promising to build skyways and twin towers and this would lead to severe repercussions on the environment of the city in future. He said that projects like SRDP and others would also lead to traffic issues. He flayed the State government for causing unnecessary delays to the Metro Rail Project by stopping the project in the middle.
Former vice-chairman of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) Marri Shashidhar Reddy warned the State government of widespread protests against any such move. He alleged that the TRS government wanted to grab the precious land of KBR Park in the name of development.
“If this project is materialised, it would be very dangerous for the surrounding colonies and in case of rains it would lead to floods in the area. This project would not leave any space for the water to pass,” he said.
