Super specialty hospital to come up in Nalgonda district

With no proper medical care available on the Hyderabad-Vijayawada highway, the Telangana Government has decided to set up a super speciality hospital at Narkatpally in Nalgonda district.

“We do not have good medical support system on the highway. It is quite risky for shifting accident victims to Hyderabad. We need to have a super specialty hospital in Nalgonda district. It will also help the people in the district,” Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao said here on Tuesday.

He asked Deputy Chief Minister T Rajaiah to prepare a proposal to set up a hospital with a college attached to it.

Meanwhile, the Chief Minister has asked the officials of the Minor Irrigation Department to prepare a road map to repair water tanks across the State.

“We must take up the repair works from December to May. We need to cover 9,000 tanks a year to cover all of the 45,000 tanks in the State in the next five years,” he said.

In a review meeting, he said, he would personally supervise the development of the five major cities of Hyderabad, Warangal, Karimnagar, Khammam and Nizamabad. “The Government will improve the infrastructure in the cities and ensure supply of drinking water to all the residents,” he said.
