Revanth Reddy seeks ‘Bade Bhai’ Modi’s help for Telangana 

Taking heart from the Centre’s recent allotment of defence lands and the sanctioning of the Indian Institute of Handloom Technology (IIHT) to the State, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has submitted a representation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeking approval and financial assistance for more projects.
Among the 11 requests made to the Prime Minister, the Chief Minister urged support of the Union government for construction of an elevated corridor across Amrabad forest area on the Hyderabad-Srisailam National Highway.

In 2022-23, the Union government had sanctioned Rs.3 crore for the preparation of Detailed Project Report. The estimated cost of the project Rs.7,700 crore should be sanctioned to the State, he said. Apart from helping pilgrims heading to Srisailam, the distance from Hyderabad to Prakasam district in the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh would be cut down by 45 km due to this corridor, besides expansion of transport routes towards South Telangana, he said.
