HYDERABAD: In its first year in power, the Congress government has made special emphasis on the development of Hyderabad. With an aim to transform the city into a Future Hub, the government has initiated major projects worth over Rs 1 lakh crore. The government has planned to develop the city with “Vision – 2050”, a master plan designed to address the increasing population and evolving infrastructure needs.
