Hyderabad: BJP MP Eatala Rajender on Thursday said the demand for Malkajgiri Corporation funds had increased because of mounting civic and infrastructure challenges across the constituency.
He said the civic body required greater financial support after the merger of several municipalities and villages into the corporation limits. According to him, rapid urban expansion had placed pressure on sanitation, drainage and public infrastructure systems.
Eatala Rajender spoke during a review meeting on development works held at a private hotel in Nagole. He said Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who earlier represented the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency, understood the region’s long-pending civic issues.
The BJP MP said discussions with the Chief Minister covered major public concerns affecting residents in different areas of the constituency. These included the Jawahar Nagar dumping yard, smaller dumping sites at Macha Bolarum, sewage pollution in lakes and the spread of water hyacinths.
He also highlighted shortages of surveillance cameras, theft incidents, poor street lighting, drinking water scarcity and drainage problems in several colonies.
Furthermore, Eatala Rajender stressed that development activities should continue without delays caused by shortage of funds. He urged the government to provide adequate allocations to improve civic infrastructure and sanitation facilities.

Eatala Rajender said the Jawahar Nagar dumping yard issue required cooperation from all political parties and public representatives. He added that leaders should work together despite political differences because civic development remained a shared responsibility.
The BJP MP also assured residents that authorities would examine permanent solutions to dumping yard-related concerns in the constituency. In addition, he said civic agencies must focus on long-term planning to address environmental and infrastructure challenges.
Commissioner Vinay Krishna Reddy attended the meeting along with MLAs Sabitha Indra Reddy, Laxma Reddy, Sudheer Reddy, Rajasekhar Reddy and Malla Reddy.
Municipal chairpersons, public representatives and officials also participated in the review meeting on development works and civic issues in Malkajgiri.
