Bandi Sanjay says efforts on to resolve Karimnagar dumping yard issue, accuses BRS regime of failing to address it

Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar said efforts were under way to resolve Karimnagar’s long-pending dumping yard problem through development works worth ₹17 crore under the AMRUT Scheme and ₹80 crore under the Urban Challenge Fund (UCF).

Speaking to reporters in Karimnagar on Monday, Mr. Sanjay alleged that some people were deliberately obstructing development works in the city.

Earlier, Mr. Sanjay and Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar participated in foundation stone laying ceremonies of various urban infrastructure development works within Karimnagar Municipal Corporation (MCK) limits. Karimnagar Mayor K. Srinivas and other BJP Corporators were also present.

Accusing the BRS government of failing to resolve the dumping yard issue during its nearly 10-year tenure, he said, “Those who had done nothing while in power are now trying to obstruct the development works in MCK limits.

He said the Central government was extending financial support to the State through funds and matching grants, while the State government was also cooperating in Karimnagar’s development.
