Telangana CM KCR has taken taken the Port folio of State’s Health and minister.
Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has taken away the portfolio of the state's Health Minister after allegations of land grab emerged against the latter.
Eatala Rajender’s portfolio of Medical, Health and Family Welfare has been transferred to the Chief Minister after the Governor approved Mr Rao’s request.
Ordering a probe into allegations of land grab in Medak district, Mr Rao instructed the Chief Secretary to get an investigation done by the district collector on the complaints of encroachments of land on the outskirts of Achampet in Masaipet Mandal in Medak, get a comprehensive report and submit it to him.
KCR’s move comes after a few farmers reportedly complained to him that Mr Rajender had grabbed nearly 100 acres of assigned land in the vicinity of his poultry farm, Jamuna Hatcheries. A few local TV channels too carried a report.
The Chief Minister also instructed senior police officer Purnachandra Rao to find out the facts. The vigilance team has begun the probe with digital surveys being conducted in the area.
