On the occasion, the Speaker directed the police authorities to make adequate security arrangements for the smooth conduct of the upcoming budget session of the Legislature starting March 7.

Compared to other States, he said the proceedings in the Telangana Legislature were a transparent and efficient affair.

Just like the previous sessions, he wanted the government to appoint special nodal officers on behalf of the respective departments in the Assembly and provide all the information sought by the members at the earliest.

He appreciated the State government, medical and health officials for their efforts in effectively curbing Covid-19 cases in the State.
