The MA&UD Minister also highlighted the pending land allotment issue related to construction of a flyover at Rasoolpura. “If the union government allocates the land belonging to the Central Home Department at Rasoolpura junction, the State government will build a flyover there,” he said.
Rama Rao pointed out to Kishan Reddy that a series of development works were taken up in Greater Hyderabad limits but the progress in infrastructure and civic works under Secunderabad Cantonment Board took a backseat.

Rama Rao also reminded about the delay in allocation of defence lands for taking up skyways from Patny to Kompally and from Jubilee Bus Station to Turkapally. He pointed out that multiple requests made by the State government for allotment of defence lands for long pending projects in the past six years were ignored.
The State government was ready to extend full support so that Hyderabad gets UNESCO World Heritage City recognition and irrespective of elections and political affiliations, parties should work towards attaining it, he said.

Calling Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP) project as Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s brainchild, he said the State government had executed 24 projects with over Rs 6,000 crore in addition to link roads. He mentioned that 132 link roads were being developed with huge financial investment running into crores in different parts of the city.
In his address, union Minister Kishan Reddy said he had requested the State government to allocate land for setting up a Science City in Hyderabad. “Around 25 acres of land is needed for a Science City and a letter has already been written to Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao,” he said.
Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Education Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy, Serilingampally MLA Arekapudi Gandhi and others were present.
