The Hindu... KTR HAS HIS TASK CUT OUT Telanganaâs Municipal Administration Minister K.T. Rama Rao may be just about realising how difficult it is to get things moving in matters pertaining to urban development. After publicly acknowledging the poor state of roads and drains, he read out the riot act to the municipal officials. That was before the monsoon arrived. Now, that the rains have come even if not in the expected torrents, de-silting works in the shoddy storm water drains in Hyderabad got once again exposed when he decided to go on a midnight tour to see things for himself earlier this week. Mr. Rao may have got a glimpse of what the commuters, especially two-wheeler riders, have been going through in the last few months having to traverse through pock-marked, slippery, uneven dug up roads and overflowing drains. That is fine but what about his promise after GHMC polls to transform the city infrastructure. It has vanished into thin air. STEERING âPOWERâ IN EVERY SENSE People across Telangana who have some understanding over the present day politics know very well as to who is calling the shots in the government now. Influence of this uncrowned prince has been so much that his unavailability has been forcing officials of other departments, with which he has no direct connection, to postpone official events. During the launch of some citizen-friendly online services of a department recently, a senior official quipped that the event was postponed for over a month due to unavailability of this force behind the wheel of power. What raises eyebrows is that the âforce to reckon withâ has nothing to do with the department as it is manned by a person who is available all through! TCC123..Cooking234  } |
