Quthbullapur: Local MLA KP Vivekanand, under the leadership of TRS Lok Sabha Floor Leader AP Jithender Reddy, on Tuesday submitted a representation in New Delhi to Minister for Heavy Industries Anant Githe on the problems of the employees of HMT, located in Quthbullapur constituency.

The legislator informed Githe that HMT, which has been contributing during the last six decades to the country’s development, is suffering because of the lack of encouragement. “It has been incurring losses,” Vivekanand said, and recalled that as the union president he had taken the issue to the notice of Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR), who in turn had arranged the appointment with Githe.

According to a statement issued by Vivekanand here, the union minister responded positively to the representation, describing the listed demands as “just.” He assured the delegation that he would strive to find solutions to the problems faced by HMT.
