Hyderabad: Telangana Minister D. Seethakka directed officials to remain accessible to the public and resolve issues promptly as part of the State government’s Praja Palana Pragathi Pranalika 99-day programme during a preparatory meeting held in Nizamabad on Friday.
The high-level meeting took place at the Nizamabad District Collectorate. Officials and public representatives from the undivided Nizamabad district attended the review to prepare for the implementation of the Praja Palana Pragathi Pranalika initiative.
District in-charge Minister Seethakka chaired the meeting. Government advisers Mohammed Ali Shabbir and P. Sudarshan Reddy were present. MLA Bhoopathi Reddy, district collectors of the undivided districts, corporation chairpersons and municipal chairpersons also attended.
Addressing the gathering, Seethakka said the next 99 days would be crucial for governance and development. She instructed officials to stay connected with the public and address issues immediately.
She also advised officers not to remain confined to their offices. Instead, they should visit villages regularly and understand people’s problems directly.
The Minister said the main objective of the Praja Palana Pragathi Pranalika programme was to ensure that all eligible beneficiaries receive government welfare schemes.
She urged officials and public representatives to work together to make Nizamabad a leading district in development.
Development focus under Praja Palana Pragathi Pranalika
Government adviser Mohammed Ali Shabbir asked officials not to compromise on development works during the 99-day programme.
He directed authorities to complete pending drinking water projects, road works and infrastructure projects across the undivided district on a war footing.
Shabbir said the government remained committed to the development of backward sections. Therefore, welfare schemes meant for them must be implemented transparently under the Praja Palana Pragathi Pranalika initiative.
He also emphasised the need to create employment opportunities for local youth. According to him, officials should prepare plans to utilise the district’s resources to establish new industries.
During the meeting, district collectors presented detailed action plans for implementing the programme in their respective districts.
Officials also decided to establish a special cell to address public grievances. The cell will monitor complaints and help ensure effective implementation of the Praja Palana Pragathi Pranalika programme.
Authorities said the mechanism would help officials respond quickly to public issues while improving coordination among departments.
