Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy on Monday pulled up the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials for not repairing non-functioning streetlights in Nampally for the past four months.
The Minister was touring the area, which is part of his Secunderabad Lok Sabha constituency, when he was informed by the people of Mallepally about the streetlights. They added that they had complained to the officials multiple times, but to no effect.
Mr. Kishan Reddy then summoned the municipal officials on phone and appeared upset when he was informed that the maintenance was delayed owing to a fund crunch. The Minister then took the matter up with GHMC Commissioner Ronald Rose, directing him to ensure that the streetlights worked in the area as soon as possible.
