Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu has declared that significant development of tourism will be visible within one year under Indiramma Rajyam. Addressing a media conference after visiting the Khammam Fort in Khammam the district headquarters on Monday, he said that they would allocate any amount of funds for development of tourism sector and wide publicity would be given to Telangana tourism and make a place for it in the world tourism map. Bhatti appreciated the decision of Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao to visit tourist places of a district.
He toured along with MLAs and Ministers of the district concerned. As part of this decision, Jupally already completed his programme in Mahbubnagar and started his Khammam tour. It was a good suggestion from the Tourism Minister that MLAs and Ministers of the district concerned should visit and stay in tourist places along with their families.
Noting that there are ample opportunities for development of eco tourism and temple tourism in Khammam district, the Deputy Chief Minister said the forests from Kunnerasani to Bhadrachalam were ideal for eco tourism. Similarly, temple tourism opportunities were aplenty from Buddhist monument in Nelakondapalli to Sitarama Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam via Jamalapuram. The ropeway proposal to fort in Khammam district headquarters has been pending for long and the Minister Jupally signed the file giving approvals for rope way construction.
Funds would be released to start work and it.
