Hyderabad : In a significant development for the Malakpet region, Minister K.T. Rama Rao announced a transformative project that could reshape its identity. The Malakpet TV tower, which once stood as an iconic landmark, is set to be overshadowed by the ITek Tower, marking a new era for the area. The foundation stone for this ambitious project was recently laid, and it is expected to be completed within a span of just 36 months.
The ITek Tower is slated to cover an impressive 15 lakh square feet, with an estimated cost of Rs. 701 crores allocated for its construction. This state-of-the-art IT hub holds the promise of generating around 50,000 direct and indirect job opportunities, thus not only altering the skyline of Malakpet but also significantly contributing to its economic and social landscape.
KTR said that Hyderabad has become a shining example when it comes to peacekeeping and harmony. He said that there were no incidents of communal disturbances or lynching, unlike the other states ruled by opposition parties. He appreciated the Muslim community heads for postponing the Milad-un-Nabi processions which coincided with the Ganesh festival. “This is what Hyderabad is known for – Ganga-Jamuna tehzeeb,” he said. Responding to the statement of PM Modi who said BRS’s steering is in the hands of Asaduddin Owaisi, KTR said, “I want to clarify that BRS steering is in the hands of CM KCR and MIM’s steering is in the hands of Mr. Asaduddin, but BJP’s steering went into the hands of Adani and not Pradhani (PM).”
AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi, Malakpet MLA Ahmed bin Abdullah Balala also present on this occasion.
