The Strategic Nala Development Programme (SNDP) has put an end to the long-pending woes of people in twin cities and all the works taken up under the programme are going on at a brisk pace, informed Minister for Animal Husbandry Talasani Srinivas Yadav.

He said that many nalas were encroached upon during the regime of previous governments and overflowing of nalas was a common sight during the rainy season in Hyderabad. With the launch of Strategic Nala Development Programme, the drainage system is being revamped and all nalas are being developed for the free flow of rainy water. All the credit goes to Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao for launching the programme, Srinivas Yadav said.
The Minister directed the officials concerned to expedite the ongoing bridge works and complete them by the end of this month.
