MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao on Saturday warned the Local Military Authority (LMA) for allegedly obstructing the work being done by the administration in the Karwan constituency. While replying to a query during the Question Hour in the assembly, the state minister said the government wouldn’t tolerate the high-handedness of the Cantonment officials. He alleged that the defence staff was responsible for submerging Nadeem Colony as the officials constructed a check dam.

KTR also criticised the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) saying the department is not permitting the administration to release excess water from Shah Hatim Talab also known as Shahtam Cheruvu to Golconda Fort downstream. He accused both the Cantonment and ASI of obstructing the developmental activities being taken up by the municipal administration.

He even warned the defence authorities of stringent actions if they continue to stop the developmental activities adding that the state government would be forced to “cut off Power and Water supply in Cantonment limits in the city.”

The Minister further informed the House that the Centre has not released even a penny towards compensation even after months of Hyderabad floss despite the Central government’s officials visiting and inspecting the situation. He said, however, the Centre was quick to respond to the flood situation in Gujarat and Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself visited the state and released Rs 1000 crores of flood assistance to the state government.
