Hyderabad: Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy announced Hyderabad like development for Warangal on Friday, December 5.
Reddy said that Warangal will get an Outer Ring Road (ORR), an airport, and an underground drainage system. The chief minister added that these projects will be initiated on March 31, 2026.
Addressing a meeting in Narsampet ahead of the local body elections, Reddy urged the public to elect sarpanches who can work with ministers and MLAs, indicating that electing Congress-backed candidates will help in expeditious development.
