Hyderabad: The Telangana Cabinet will meet at 2 PM today at the Secretariat under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. The session will be attended by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, cabinet ministers, Chief Secretary K. Ramakrishna Rao, and senior government advisors.
The Cabinet is expected to review progress on statewide infrastructure initiatives and take up Andhra Pradesh’s proposed Banakacharla water project for detailed examination. Officials indicated that discussions would include political and administrative implications of the inter-state proposal.
A major item on the agenda is a decision on implementing 42% reservations for Backward Classes in local self-governance institutions. This comes in the wake of a Telangana High Court directive instructing the state to complete local body elections by September 30.
The meeting is also likely to finalise the sequence for conducting elections to rural bodies, with MPTC and ZPTC polls likely to be prioritised ahead of gram panchayat elections.
The Cabinet will further assess field-level implementation strategies for flagship schemes such as Rythu Bharosa and the Indiramma housing programme. Administrative preparations and communication outreach plans to widen scheme coverage are expected to be taken up.
