Hyderabad: A newly constructed bridge at Kalasiguda Minister Road, was inaugurated by the Animal Husbandry Minister, Talasani Srinivas Yadav here on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Talasani said with the initiative of MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao, several projects were taken up to solve the inundation problems in the city under the SNDP.
