KTR | With the rapid strides of urbanization going up, the pressure is mounting on the urban local bodies to meet the increasing infrastructure demand, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao said.
He was speaking at a workshop on Pattana Pragathi programme here on Friday where Chairpersons and municipal staff from across the State were present.
KTR said that the urbanisation has increased by nearly 46 percent in Telangana and during the next five years, 51 per cent of the population will reside in cities and towns. At this juncture, it has become a challenging task for the Uban Local Bodies(ULBs) to meet the demand of providing infrastructure.
