Telangana CM Revanth Reddy ensures amenities for Kakatiya Mega Textile Park displaced residents, announces ₹5 lakh assistance under Indiramma Housing Scheme
Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has instructed officials to prepare proposals to provide essential amenities, including roads, electricity, water supply, and waste management, at the housing layout designated for those displaced by the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park (KMTP) near Warangal. Emphasizing the government’s responsibility to ensure these facilities, the Chief Minister announced that each plot allottee would receive ₹5 lakh assistance under the Indiramma Housing scheme.
Accompanied by Ministers Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy, Damodar Raj Narasimha, Konda Surekha, and Seethakka, he visited the 1200-acre textile park located in Sangem and Wardhannapet mandals in the district on Saturday.
During the visit, Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan briefed the Chief Minister on the existing facilities, operational units, and employment prospects at the park. The Chief Minister also viewed a photo exhibition, participated in a plantation programme, and unveiled the logo for Vana Mahostavam, a plantation initiative.
In a subsequent review meeting at the park, Mr. Reddy directed officials to ensure that all landowners who had given up their land were allotted house plots. He stressed the need to provide comprehensive amenities equivalent to those of a Gram Panchayat, given the expected construction of over 1200 houses. The Chief Minister also instructed officials to build a pond linked to a nearby lake to prevent flooding in the textile park and to construct contours around the park.
Former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao laid the foundation for the KMTP on October 22, 2017. Over the past five years, approximately 1000 farmers from the Chinthapally and other villages have contributed their land for the park. Chief Secretary Santhi Kumari, Collectors Satya Sharada and P. Pravinya, and TGIISC officials were present.
After a long, tiring day all we want is to jump right on our cosy beds and rest comfortably on our soft, fluffy pillows, right? Pillows are not quite appreciated as much as electric cars or air-fryers, for instance. Pillows are a wonderful man-made creation that has improved the lives and sleep of people across the globe. Did you know ages ago people used to rest their heads on a HARD ROCK? So how did humans go from sleeping on stones to cosy, fluffy and soft pillows today? Let’s get into the origin of your everyday pillows!
As the November 30 deadline nears for installing vehicle location tracking devices (VLTD) and emergency panic buttons in public service and nationally permitted goods vehicles in Karnataka, transport unions representing cab, bus, and truck operators are urging the government to reconsider the mandate. They argue that the high cost of these devices and a lack of awareness have made it difficult for many vehicle owners to comply with the requirement.
