A neo Metro in Warangal City.

After Hyderabad, a neo Metro has been proposed for Warangal city and the State Government has allocated Rs.150 crore towards execution of the project, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister K T Rama Rao.

He said the State government was not confining development merely to Hyderabad, and was focusing on major Municipal Corporations and municipalities in the State to ensure uniform infrastrucfure development and sanitation.

Accordingly, Rs. 250 crore have been sanctioned for Warangal Municipal Corporation, Rs. 154 crore for Khammam Municipal Corporation and sufficient funds for other munipalities, he said in the Legislative Assembly here on Wednesday.

Despite the Corona pandemic impact, the State Government released Rs. 1,766 crore to all munipalities and Municipal Corporations last year, he said.

This year too, sufficient funds have been allocated under different programmes to take up several works, and Rs 500 crore has been alloted for setting up integrated vegetable and meat markets in each and every municipality, he said, adding that Rs.200 crore was allocated for developing Vaikuntadhamams in each urban local body while Rs. 783 crore has been sanctioned for setting up faecal sludge treatment plants in all the munipalities across the State. "All these works will be completed in six months," said Rama Rao.

Following the success of the Disaster Response Force teams, similar teams will be introduced shortly in Nizamabad and other Municipal Corporations.
