Highlighting the rapid urbanisation and demographic growth in and around Hyderabad, the Chief Minister asked officials to formulate a clear and cohesive urban policy specifically for the core city, while also devising tailored development strategies for semi-urban and rural regions adjacent to the urban core. He called for an integrated and forward-looking approach that balances current needs with future expansion.
