Speaking during the Question Hour in the Legislative Council, Mr. Reddy also said the government will set up a Cabinet sub-committee with Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka and Ministers D. Sridhar Babu and Ponnam Prabhakar so that Opposition members can give their suggestions on the Musi Riverfront development project.
