"We are here to help people, and ensure structured and planned development of the city and towns in Telangana. We have made master plans as part of this. I have never said that master plans should be against the people, it should always be in favour of the people," he said.

He said that this is just an initial draft.

"If the people have any issues, they should talk to the Directorate of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). We have a democratic process to make necessary changes. If public representatives or citizens have any objection about the draft, the issues can be discussed and resolved," he said. (ANI)
