He told the commissioner that transfer of funds from GHMC to the Quli Qutub Sha Urban Development Authority for the construction of the GHMC circle office and minority training centre was still pending. He reminded the commissioner that the project for renovation of heritage buildings had also not commenced despite allocation of funds. He also expressed his displeasure at the delay in completing the Charminar Pedestrianisation Project.
