Funds have been sanctioned for the construction of roads in a total area of 57 km spread in Karimnagar, Jagtial and Siddipet districts. Of these, a single road from Ganneruvaram to Bejjanki, covering a total length of 23 km, will be expanded as a double lane road and Rs 32 crore has been released for the purpose. Similarly, Rs 25 crore has been released for the construction of a 10-km road from Antakkapeta to Kothakonda.

On the other hand, BJP MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar expressed happiness that the Centre had released Rs 107 crore under CRIF for the construction of roads in Karimnagar parliamentary constituency. He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. He also thanked the State government and Minister of State Komatireddy Venkatreddy for their cooperation. Bandi Sanjay said the previous KCR government did not cooperate with the Centre in the development of the State and construction of roads while claiming that the proposals sent by them were ignored. “If the previous government had cooperated, more funds would have come for the construction of roads. This is a testimony to the fact that if the Central and State governments work in coordination for the development of the State, leaving aside politics, funds will be generated,” he added. (NSS)
