Mayor N. Narender went around traffic junctions in Warangal, Hanamkonda and Kazipet towns along with Joint Collector Prashanth J. Patil, KUDA Planning Officer E.

He held discussions with the officials on beautification of junctions at Kaloji, Fatima and Adalath centres, Collectors’ camp office, Waddepally, Kadipikonda and Madikonda.

They would be equipped with improved street-lighting, fountains and traffic islands, he said, adding that efforts were on to usher in massive development.

The Mayor informed that Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has given Warangal a budgetary allocation of Rs. 300 crore for its development on par with the State capital.

A total of Rs. 44 crore was already released.

Steps were being taken to construct underground drainage, establish a lounge at Hanamkonda chowrastha where a large parking space for two wheelers would be provided.

Deputy Mayor Khaja Sirajuddin and Mr. Narender held a meeting with bankers and appealed to them to make liberal donations to the Green Fund under their CSR activity for effective implementation of Haritha Haram programme.

He also wanted contributions from owners of industries, rice mills, function halls and others for the fund.
