“In addition to these, education and health sectors were witnessing rapid development. Apart from Government Medical College, a nursing college has also been sanctioned for the town. Besides, advanced facilities were being provided at the Government General Hospital in the town to discourage people from rushing to Hyderabad for medical treatment,” he said.

In the past, governments ignored the welfare and development activities in Palakonda. After TRS Government came to power, nearly Rs.10 crore were distributed as pensions.

“Once the bypass road works and new Collectorate building complex works are completed, Palakonda will be transformed into a urban locality” said the Minister adding that surveillance cameras will aid in efficient law and order and control Anti social activities in the village.
