Tourism Minister urges Archaeological Survey of India take up development of monuments and forts
The State government has intensified its pitch for speeding up the process for recognition of the Rudreshwara (Ramappa) temple as world heritage site. A delegation of Ministers led by Tourism Minister V. Srinivas Goud met senior officials of Union Culture and Tourism Ministry in New Delhi on Thursday and made an appeal in this direction. Requesting for speedy sanction of pending projects, the delegation requested that the Archaeological Survey of India take up development of monuments and forts. It also submitted proposals for upgradation, refurbishment and renovation of museums in Warangal, Hyderabad and Karimnagar. The delegation urged the Centre to ensure speedy disposal of the proposal for shifting Golkonda sound and light show from the existing place to new panoramic view of the fort. This was in addition to the Central financial assistance required for the development of cultural complexes under “Tagore Cultural Complex” Scheme.More Related News
