Take final call over allotting land to school at Tarnaka: HC to government - The HinduPublished - May 29, 2026 10:28 pm IST - HYDERABADThe Telangana High Court on Friday said that it would not hesitate to summon the Chief Secretary if appropriate orders were not passed over allotting five acres of government land to the School Education department for construction of government school at Hanumannagar in Tarnaka of Hyderabad. Justice Suddala Chalapathi Rao of the HC vacation bench, after hearing a writ petition filed by some parents of the school students, said the decision in the matter should be taken by next date of hearing. The petitioners informed the bench that the present school was being run from the D type quarters of the Telangana Dairy Development Co-operative Federation at Tarnaka. The petitioners contended that the two quarters lacked basic amenities due to which the children were being put to difficulties. The parents of the schoolchildren and members of the the Vijaya Dairy Prabhutva Patashala Shashvatha Bhavana Sadhana Samithi represented to the government to allot two A type quarters to run the school. The two A type quarters were vacant since the federation operations were shifted to Ravirala village on city outskirts. Originally, the government school was at Seetafalmandi. It was shifted in 1961 to Tarnaka based on the request of the federation to cater to the educational needs of its children and those living in the localities surrounding Tarnaka. Since the federation shifted its activities to Ravirala, majority of the 42 acres of land belonging to it at Tarnaka was lying unutilised. The Telangana government had taken a policy decision to construction 100 Public Schools. Five acres of the same land of the federation can be earmarked for the construction of one such Public School by upgrading the Seetafalmandi school presently being run from Tarnaka, the petitioners contended.
