In Telangana, Union Minister of Coal and Mines G Kishan Reddy has met the families being relocated as part of the Musi River Beautification Project. Speaking after meeting the families from various colonies in Amberpet Assembly constituency and extending support, he said the Central Government will extend assistance to construct the houses but not demolish them.
The state government had proposed to relocate some identified houses which are
close to Muri River bed, as part of the Musi River Beautification Project. Mr Reddy said the colonies are around 30-40 years old and the poor people by working hard bought the land and built their houses there. He said the land was not given to them by the government.
