No debate in Assembly on Secretariat shifting Hyderabad, March 14 (INN): "Yes Sir" was the answer given by Health Minister C Lakshma Reddy when he was asked about the government's decision to shift the Government TB and Chest Hospital at Erragadda to TB Sanitarium at Ananthagiri Hills in Viqarabad.
Similar two-word answer was given for a question on government's decision to construct new Ultra Modern Secretariat Complex in the Chest Hospital premises. The question was raised by as many as 18 MLAs belonging to TRS, Congress, MIM and BJP. It was the sixth in the list of 10 questions listed for oral answers during Question Hour in the Telangana Legislative Assembly on Saturday. However, it was quite late by the time, members debated four questions.
Therefore, Assembly Speaker S Madhusudan Chary announced that all other questions in the list are deemed to have been answered. Interestingly, the members who listed the question did not insist for postponement of the question as it is done in case of other important issues.
In the written answer, the Health Minister informed that the decisions were under planning stage.
