CM bats for promoting Telangana’s natural forests

Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy emphasised the need to promote temple, health, and eco-tourism in the State.

Highlighting Telangana’s rich natural and cultural heritage, he said that the government would promote Ramappa and Thousand Pillar temples, and forests like Nallamala and Mallela Tirtham.

He said this while inaugurating Experium Park, a world-class immersive eco-park, at Proddutur village on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Tuesday. The Chief Minister announced that the State government will implement a new tourism policy soon and develop eco-tourism infrastructure. He praised Ramadugu Ramdev for developing Experium Park in line with the state’s vision and committed to developing the Vikarabad forest area as an eco-tourism centre.

Mr. Reddy also stressed the importance of promoting Telangana as a natural forest region and announced plans to introduce a policy encouraging students to plant and protect saplings in their mothers’ names.

“Vikarabad forest area has its own identity with abundant natural resources. The government will develop the Vikarabad area as an eco-tourism centre,” he said, adding that the government will bring a policy which helps every student plant and protect a sapling in the name of their mother emulating noted environmental activist ‘Vanajeevi’ Ramaiah.

Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao and Chief Whip in the Council Patnam Mahender Reddy, film actor and former Union Minister Chiranjeevi among other dignitaries attended the event.
