Hyderabad: Large crowds flocked to the Praja Darbar on Monday, continuing the high turnout seen since its inauguration by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Friday. People lined up in long queues at Mahatma Jyotirao Phule Praja Bhavan even before the program’s official start time of 10 am.
IT Minister D Sridhar Babu, acting on Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s instructions, visited Praja Bhavan and personally interacted with petitioners, discussing their problems and concerns.

The Minister assured petitioners that the government is committed to resolving their issues, as promised in the election manifesto.

Responding to concerns regarding the TSGENCO AE exam scheduled for December 17th, Sridhar Babu acknowledged requests from candidates to postpone the exam due to conflicts with other examinations. He announced that he would bring this matter to the Chief Minister’s attention and a decision on postponement would be made after discussions with relevant authorities.
