HYDERABAD: To ensure planned and integrated infrastructure development around major towns due to rapid urbanisation in the state, the Telangana govt has created 25 Urban Development Authorities (UDA). Now, except Mulugu, all other districts either have UDA or come under a UDA.
“Considering the strategic location of the districts and their future scope in terms of urbanisation and key role in the region, the govt decided to constitute the UDAs,” the GO stated.
These UDAs will prepare a comprehensive master plan for their jurisdiction including roads, water supply, employment and satellite townships.
Apart from creating new UDAs, the govt has also expanded the areas of some existing UDAs such as Satavahana (Karimnagar), Stambhadri (Khammam), Vemulawada Temple Area Authority and Nizamabad.
The newly created areas include Adilabad, Jogulamba Gadwal, Kagaznagar, Kothagudem, Mahabubabad, Mancherial, Nagarkurnool, Nirmal, Kamareddy, Suryapet, Wanaparthy, Narayanpet, Jagtial, Medak, Yadadri-Bhongiri, Jayashankar Bhupalapally, Sangareddy, Nalgonda, Vikarabad and Jangaon.
Officials said the UDAs have been constituted keeping in mind the success of Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) in shaping urbanisation around Hyderabad.
