Minister for Tourism, Sports and Excise V. Srinivas Goud has asked officials to prepare proposals for comprehensive development of tourism sector in the State.
While reviewing the activities of the Tourism Department here on Saturday ahead of World Tourism Day celebrations on September 27, he said that government was preparing a new sports policy and on the same lines, the new tourism policy would be prepared as a model for other States.
Development of tourism spots in Kaleshwaram project areas, proposals for recognition of the Thousand Pillar Temple in Warangal and Golconda Fort and Chariminar in Hyderabad as world heritage sites were discussed at the meeting. He said there were many historic structures in the State that need to be protected.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P. Rajkumar, Managing Director, Nalam Multispeciality Hospital, here on Saturday. Speaking at a function to honour Inspector General of Police V. Balakrishnan and neurologist S. Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
