Hyderabad: Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has intervened in the matter of the removal of Kumari Aunty's food stall.

Revanth Reddy has also directed officials to make alternative arrangements for managing traffic congestion in the area. This decision was communicated by CM Revanth Reddy's Chief Public Relations Officer, Ayodhya Reddy, through a tweet on Wednesday.

The issue came to the forefront when the police decided to close Kumari Aunty's food stall citing traffic disruptions.

Following this, he issued orders to officials to ensure that Kumari Aunty's food stall continues its operations as usual at the same location.
