Due to heavy rush at the Praja Bhavan, traffic flow on the Begumpet main road was affected. Police officials said Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu had received the applications initially and left for the Assembly.
The traffic situation prompted the Hyderabad Traffic Police to issue traffic advisories.
“Due to heavy flow of visitors to Praja Vaani (Praja Darbar), movement of vehicles is slow from GVK One, Vengal Rao Park, NFCL, Panjagutta X Roads, Somajiguda Circle towards Praja Darbar. Panjagutta Traffic police are available and regulating traffic…” (sic) the Traffic Police shared on X.
The State Government had rechristened the Praja Darbar programme as Prajavani. The timings were fixed from 10 am to 1 pm. The programme is now being conducted on every Tuesday and Friday.
Despite the timings, people turned up in large numbers and going by the rush, it would take much time for the officials to accept the applications.
On Tuesday, officials had not permitted applicants, who had turned up beyond 1 pm at the venue.
“I came all the way from Kumaram Bheem Asifabad to seek allocation of a house and a job,” said Supraja, who said started early in the day from her native place to Hyderabad to attend the programme.
