Roads & Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has directed officials to accelerate ongoing construction works under the R&B Department, especially those nearing completion and ready for public use.
The Minister said that the R&B Department carries major responsibilities and urged officers to prioritise and finish critical infrastructure projects swiftly. Mr. Venkat Reddy reviewed the progress of works taken up by the department with senior officials on Sunday.
The Minister inquired about the status of pending Integrated District Office Complexes (IDOCs) in Adilabad, Warangal, Mulugu, Narayanpet and Karimnagar districts. Officials brought to his notice the issue of pending payment of bills.
He wanted officials to ensure completion of IDOCs in Warangal and Mulugu, which were in final stages, so that they were kept ready for inauguration. Referring to the rail-over-bridges, he specifically wanted the completion of Madhavnagar ROB in Nizamabad at the earliest. Officials were directed to focus on the construction of medical colleges and TIMS that were in the final stages of completion.
Emphasising the need for quality road infrastructure, he cited Greater Hyderabad, which witnessed movement of over 91 lakh vehicles every day calling for the need for high quality road infrastructure in both urban and rural parts of the State.
The Minister assured that he would discuss and resolve pending bills of contractors and work agencies with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.
