Hyderabad: Residents displaced from Madhu Park Ridge A Block asked the Telangana government to recognise them as stakeholders in the Musi rejuvenation project and consider three proposals they submitted as part of the ongoing redevelopment exercise.
The residents met Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka at Praja Bhavan in Hyderabad on Monday. During the meeting, they said they were displaced and were seeking justice under the state government’s Musi rejuvenation initiative. They placed three proposals before the Deputy Chief Minister for consideration.
The group said it supported the Musi rejuvenation and development works. However, it made clear that it wanted a formal role in the process as affected residents. The Madhu Park Ridge residents said they had no objection to the project itself, but sought inclusion as partners in the development framework.
Madhu Park Ridge proposals sent for review
Bhatti Vikramarka told the residents that all three proposals would be examined on humanitarian grounds. He said justice would be done after the proposals were reviewed.
He also instructed Musi Riverfront Development Corporation Managing Director E.V. Narasimha Reddy and Rangareddy District Collector Narayana Reddy to study the submissions made by the Madhu Park Ridge residents. They were directed to submit a report to the Musi Cabinet Sub-Committee for further consideration.
The meeting took place as the government continued work on the Musi rejuvenation programme, with displaced residents pressing for a recognised place in the decision-making process.
