The State government had already secured the NOC related to LB Nagar and Alwal TIMS hospitals, hence the officials should start the work and complete it as per schedule, he said. “There is a lot of pressure on Osmania General Hospital, Gandhi Hospital and NIMS. Efforts should be made to complete the works of TIMS at the earliest,” he said.

Expressing concern over the conditions of the roads in the State, the Minister directed the officials to repair all the damaged roads in the State on a war footing. “Most of the roads in the State need repair as in the last five-years proper maintenance was not done.
