Minister for Transport and Backward Classes Welfare Ponnam Prabhakar has said that the Husnabad constituency is witnessing comprehensive development with a focus on education, health, road infrastructure and other key sectors under the current Congress government while he was addressing a public meeting in the Husnabad town of Siddipet district on Friday.
He along with the Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha, Agriculture Minister Tummala Nageshwara Rao and Roads & Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy participated in a slew of development programmes held in the constituency earlier in the day.
The ministers inaugurated 50-bed Matha Sishu Arogya Kendram built at an estimated cost of Rs 11.50 crore, laid the foundation stone for a 150-bed government hospital building at a cost of Rs 82 crore and four-laning of the Kothapalli-Husnabad main road with an outlay of Rs 77.20 crore in separate programmes held in the town.
Mr. Prabhakar said that classes in the newly sanctioned Satavahana University Engineering College in Husnabad will commence from this year. The Gouravelli project works are progressing at a brisk pace, he added, taking a dig at the previous BRS government for allegedly neglecting the Husnabad constituency in its 10-year rule.
Mr. Venkat said the road infrastructure in the constituency is poised for major upgradation, “The four-laning works of Sundaragiri-Kothapalli will be taken up with an outlay of Rs 80 crore soon.”
Mr. Raja Narasimha said that they have laid a special focus on strengthening medical and nursing education as well as improving the infrastructure in government hospitals and public health delivery systems.
As many as 16 nursing colleges have been set up with an intake of 950 seats under the current Congress government, he said, adding that the bed strength in the Husnabad government hospital is poised to increase to 250.
