Hyderabad: The Congress-led Telangana government has come under public scrutiny after approving ₹76 lakh for repair and renovation works at Minister’s Quarters No. 29 in Banjara Hills, recently allotted to former Indian men’s cricket team captain and newly inducted Minority Welfare Minister Mohammad Azharuddin.
Official orders from the Roads and Buildings Department state that the funds have been sanctioned under the capital outlay for government residential buildings. The renovation work will include comprehensive repairs such as waterproofing the roof slab, floor tiling, UPVC window installation, modular kitchen installation, wall repairs, and painting, among other improvements.
The building, reportedly vacant for around one and a half decades, had fallen into disrepair before being allotted to the minister. Over the past two weeks, the state government has cleared more than ₹1 crore for renovation and sanitary works across official residences of ministers, including ₹30 lakh allocated for upgrades at the Health Minister’s official bungalow.
