Warangal: “The Congress Government is keen to develop Warangal as the second Capital of the State,” Revenue Minister Ponguleti Srinivas Reddy said. The minister who along with Warangal West MLA Naini Rajender Reddy and Mayor Gundu Sudharani inspected the Bhadrakali Bund Promenade in Hanumakonda on Sunday elicited information about the progress of the pending work.
Speaking to the media persons after offering prayers at the Bhadrakali temple, he said work on Mada Streets will be expedited, besides developing the temple as per Agama Sastra. “All the amenities will be provided for the comfort of devotees turning to Bhadrakali Temple from neighbouring districts, especially from Khammam, Karimnagar, Medak and Nizamabad,” he said.
