Komatireddy Holds Talks With Builders: Komatireddy Venkat Reddy Holds Talks With Telangana Builders Association

Komatireddy Holds Talks With Builders: Telangana Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy held a meeting with representatives of the Telangana Builders Association and urged them to continue discussions with the government regarding pending payment issues. He appealed to the association to reconsider its proposed Chalo Hyderabad program and allow more time for dialogue.

Speaking after the meeting, the minister said the government had invited the association for discussions and assured contractors that efforts were being made to address outstanding dues. According to him, the issue has been taken up with Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, and steps are being explored to clear pending payments.

The Telangana Builders Association had announced a Chalo Hyderabad protest on June 18 seeking the release of unpaid bills. Venkat Reddy said the association responded positively to the government’s request and informed officials that it would discuss the matter internally before taking a final decision on the protest.

The minister also criticized the previous administration, alleging that significant dues remained unpaid in the Roads and Buildings Department despite the completion of several projects. He claimed that contractors who executed public works were left waiting for their payments.

Referring to major infrastructure works, Venkat Reddy stated that even projects frequently highlighted by the previous government had outstanding financial obligations. He said the current administration is examining these issues and working toward a solution.

The minister further accused opposition leaders of making misleading allegations against the government for political attention. He maintained that facts related to contract allocations and pending bills would provide a clearer picture of the situation and defended the government’s approach to resolving the concerns raised by contractors.

He expressed confidence that continued engagement between the government and builders would help find a practical resolution while avoiding disruptions and ensuring ongoing development activities across the state.
