Leaders Raise Concerns Over Hyderabad's Uneven Development
Imagine Hyderabad is a big playground, and some areas get all the new toys and attention, while others are forgotten.
Some leaders, like Akbaruddin Owaisi and Eatala Rajender, are upset because they think the government isn't treating all parts of Hyderabad fairly.
They're worried about the Old City, where things like traffic lights are broken, and street vendors are being removed, which could make it harder for people to make money and could lead to problems.
They also believe the city's infrastructure, like the pipes and water supply, is not being maintained well enough.
They want the government to fix things, and make sure everyone gets the same level of care and attention.
Akbaruddin Owaisi criticized the Telangana govt for neglecting the Old City's development.
He highlighted poor traffic signals and street vendor evictions impacting livelihoods.
Eatala Rajender criticized CM Revanth Reddy's governance and infrastructure issues.
Rajender pointed out issues with the sewerage system, water distribution, and unfulfilled promises.
Both leaders urged corrective steps for balanced development and civic issue prioritization.
