"musi-project"

Concerns arise over the Musi Riverfront Development Project's ₹58,000 crore cost and consultancy selection, with the MRDCL unexpectedly canceling tenders before awarding the contract to a consortium amid alleged political meetings

Without sharing the Musi Riverfront Development’s detailed project report in the public domain, demolishing houses was undemocratic, said CPM City Secretary M Srinivas.

KT Rama Rao demanded that Revanth Reddy explain whether he succeeded in getting enough funds from the Centre that matched his travel expenses

Stating that there was no personal agenda behind the HYDRAA demolitions or the Musi evictions. Trying to build an eco-friendly image for the government, said Revanth Reddy

The firm, which has been embroiled in several controversies, has raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability in the execution of the Rs 1.5 lakh crore Musi project

The Congress government has been using diversionary tactics effectively since it came to power to save itself from the people’s backlash

“Let us visit Chaitanyapuri or any other areas. If residents appreciate Revanth Reddy and his government, I will quit politics and tender unconditional apology,” Etala Rajender said.

Says BRS and Congress follow same ideology and State government is demolishing houses of poor people without any proper planning

The Congress high command is learned to have taken a serious view of the ongoing demolitions by HYDRAA and Musi Riverfront development project.

BRS leaders demanded swift action against the attackers, holding the Congress government responsible for creating an environment of fear and political vendetta.

BRS working president KT Rama Rao condemned the razing of homes and shattering the lives of many, especially children.

Families who had invested their lifetime savings into buying homes were now facing the terrifying prospect of losing everything.

Musi Riverfront Development Corporation officials had conducted a drone survey and identified 10,600 houses and structures along the 55 km stretch. These structures were in the riverbed and buffer zone limits and had to be relocated.

About 284 houses were constructed in Pilligudiselu near Chanchalguda, of which 142 were distributed among beneficiaries while the remaining 142 were vacant.

Faced with an uncertain future, scores of families from dwelling units in areas around the Musi river took to the streets on Friday.

Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, who defected to Congress, has been appointed as Agriculture Advisor of State and IAS officers were transferred following orders issued on Tuesday.

The manner in which CM A Revanth Reddy and his Cabinet colleagues are projecting a cost estimate of Rs.1.5 lakh crore much before a DPR is prepared, triggers doubts over the Musi Riverfront project

Addressing a press conference here, he said the government should first clean all the lakes, nallas and Sewage treatment plants (STPs) in the twin cities before taking up the Musi project.

The Rs.1.5 lakh crore was estimated to be spent on different projects over the next five years. An action plan was being prepared for the purpose, says CM Revanth Reddy.

The CM appealed to the Union Minister to allot Rs.4,000 crore under the National River Conservation Plan. He also sought Rs.6,000 crore for filling Osman Sagar and Himayat Sagar reservoirs with water from River Godavari.
