Government Prepares for Smooth Ramzan Arrangements in Hyderabad
The Telangana government has instructed officials to ensure uninterrupted services during the holy month of Ramzan. Authorities have been directed to provide continuous power supply, clean water, garbage clearance, and other essential services at mosques, major intersections, and across the city.
A high-level meeting was held at the Secretariat on Tuesday to discuss preparations. The meeting was chaired by Hyderabad in-charge Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, along with Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir and MLAs.
During the meeting, the Minister urged officials to work together and take necessary steps to provide better facilities for worshippers. He gave specific instructions to senior officers from various departments and emphasized that these arrangements should not only be made in Hyderabad but across the state.
Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir suggested that officials consider issuing a special order allowing businesses and shops to remain open late at night during Ramzan. He stated that this order from the Labour Department would help business activities during the holy month. He also stressed that this facility should be extended to other cities, with police departments receiving necessary instructions. Additionally, he pointed out the need to replace carpets in Mecca Masjid and Shahi Masjid and to check the functionality of CCTV cameras around major mosques.
Secretary for Minority Welfare, Tafseer Iqbal, directed officers to strengthen essential facilities in Hyderabad and across the state. Minister Ponnam Prabhakar also took note of concerns raised by public representatives and instructed senior officials to address them. He mentioned that the Roads and Buildings Department has already completed major road construction and repair work, with remaining tasks set to be finished soon.
