Mr. Amjed Ullah Khan, Spokesman of Majlis Bachao Tehreek (MBT), visited several rain-affected localities in Yakutpura Assembly Constituency, including Moula Ka Chilla, Qureshi Lane, Ganga Nagar, Dabeerpura and Bada Bazar, where rainwater entered numerous houses, causing damage to household items, ration supplies and other essential belongings.
Speaking to the media, Mr. Khan said that just two hours of rainfall have exposed the reality behind the claims of massive development works being carried out in Yakutpura Assembly Constituency. He stated that Mr. Asaduddin Owaisi, Member of Parliament from Hyderabad Parliamentary Constituency, and Mr. Jaffer Hussain Meraj, MLA of Yakutpura Assembly Constituency, have been repeatedly inaugurating projects and claiming that crores of rupees worth of developmental works are being undertaken across the constituency.
"Either these claims of development are false, or public funds are being grossly misused. The ground reality is that residents continue to suffer whenever it rains," Mr. Khan remarked.
Mr. Khan further alleged that nearly Rs. 5 crore is sanctioned every year for pre-monsoon desilting and cleaning of storm water drains and nalas. However, due to rampant corruption, these works are not being carried out effectively. He alleged that a nexus between contractors and GHMC officials has resulted in bogus bills being raised for incomplete or poorly executed works, while political leaders also benefit from the system. As a result, drainage systems remain clogged and rainwater enters residential areas, causing hardship to the public.
Referring to the arrangements for Moharram-2026, Mr. Khan expressed disappointment over the manner in which the Telangana Government handled the preparatory meeting. He stated that Mr. Mohammed Azharuddin, Minister for Minorities Welfare, convened the Moharram arrangements meeting only five days before the commencement of Moharram.
Mr. Khan pointed out that several important Anjumans representing the Shia community were not invited to the meeting. He also noted that, apart from officials from Hyderabad, officers from other districts failed to attend, reflecting the Government's lack of seriousness towards Moharram arrangements across Telangana.
He further criticized Congress leaders claiming to represent minority interests for maintaining silence over the Government's failure to undertake timely preparations and necessary works for Moharram-2026.
Mr. Khan demanded immediate relief for affected families, a transparent inquiry into the expenditure on drain-cleaning works, and urgent implementation of pending civic works to prevent further hardship during the monsoon season.
