KTR seeks adequate funds for TS urban projects in Union Budget

Stating that several projects were either held up or proceeding at less than desired pace in the urban sector initiatives in the State, Municipal Administration Minister KT Rama Rao on Sunday urged the Centre to allocate sufficient funds in the ensuing Union Budget-2023-24.

Rao said that with 46.8 per cent of its population living in cities, Telangana was predominantly an urban State where the number of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) increased from 68 to 142. He listed various urban infrastructure projects planned, initiated by the government on its own, which include Strategic Road Development Project (SRDP), Strategic Nala Development Project (SNDP).
