Deputy Chief Minister (Finance and Energy) Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has directed the officials to take effective steps to ensure that the State’s income did not go into the hands of private persons.
Simultaneously, efforts should be made to mobilise additional revenue as well as explore alternative revenue streams for the government without burdening the common man. The Deputy Chief Minister chaired the meeting of the Cabinet sub-committee on resource mobilisation and management on Friday. Ministers N. Uttam Kumar Reddy, D. Sridhar Babu and Jupalli Krishna Rao and senior officials attended the meeting. Mr. Bhatti Vikramarka announced that meetings to explore avenues for increasing State’s revenues would be held once every week forthwith.
He wanted the officials to be on constant vigil to protect government lands within Hyderabad and surrounding areas and check illegal registrations of these lands and the officials concerned should effectively discharge their duties in this direction. On the revenue related issues, he said steps should be taken not only to enhance revenue through effective utilisation of natural resources like sand but it should be available to the common people when required.
