HYDERABAD: Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka on Friday asked officials to focus on finding alternative financial resources without imposing any additional tax burden on people.

He said that Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy would convene a meeting soon on the revenue resources and the officials should present their ideas to improve the state’s finances. Bhatti said that the Congress government, unlike the previous BRS regime, gave freedom to officials so that they can take decisions without any hesitation to enhance revenue resources.
The deputy CM also wanted the officials to expedite the process of clearing applications received under LRS.
The proposed land polling by HMDA, the status of assigned land, court cases over government lands and other issues were discussed in the meeting.
