At a review meeting held by the Minister on the progress of the works, at the State Secretariat in Hyderabad, he discussed works taken up so far, progress in construction, pace of the works, measures needed to complete the project within deadline and infrastructure there. Agriculture Department Secretary K.

Mr. Rao said that the full-fledged market should be made available for farmers by June 2, 2028 [Telangana State formation day], with the first phase of works completed by March, 2027. He issued directions appointing Rahul Raj as Special Officer to monitor the work progress. Officials were directed to make necessary changes in contract terms to take action against construction companies concerned in case of delays.
