Future City Gains Traction Among People
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy’s Future City project on the outskirts of Hyderabad has received a major expansion with 37 more villages in Rangareddy district seeking amalgamation with the project area, taking the number of villages associated with Future City to 93. This development comes in addition to the 56 villages included in the project under an earlier government notification.
The state government had asked the gram panchayats to pass resolutions aimed at merging with Future City and submit them to the government for approval. Responding quickly to public demand, Revanth Reddy approved the inclusion of additional villages after local representatives and residents sought incorporation into the Future City Development Authority (FCDA) limits.
The decision was taken on Wednesday after the Chief Minister inaugurated the FCDA headquarters at Mirakhanpet in Kandukur mandal. Built at a cost of `20 crore, the eco-friendly office complex is equipped with solar power plants and bio-sewage treatment plants. Following the opening, the Prime Minister held talks with ministers and later attended a public meeting.
During the meeting, citizens opened banners demanding that their villages be included in the City of the Future project. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, while addressing the meeting, also urged the Chief Minister to consider the demand and announce the merger in the Legislative Assembly. Reacting immediately, Revanth Reddy signed the petitions submitted by the villagers and directed the officials to include the relevant villages in Future City.
With the latest expansion, 28 villages in Maheshwaram mandal and nine villages in Kandukur mandal will be part of the project. The move was welcomed by local public representatives and residents, who expressed their happiness at the Prime Minister’s quick response to their demands.
The state government had earlier issued a gazette notification for amalgamation of 56 village panchayats from Kandukur, Maheshwaram, Ibrahimpatnam, Manchala, Yacharam and Kadtal mandals into FCDA limits. Later, public representatives from Kandukur and Maheshwaram mandals in Maheshwaram Assembly constituency passed resolutions seeking inclusion of additional villages.
The proposed villages from Kandukur mandal include Nedunur, Bachupalli, Jaitwaram, Pulimamidi, Dhannaram, Chippalapalli and Muralinagar. The villages from Maheshwaram mandal are Pendmala, Subhanpur, Uppugadda Thanda, Thuprakurdu, Kolla Padkal, Mansanpally, Ramchandraguda, Gangaram and Enditanda. These decisions were approved by local elected representatives and presented to the government.
