CM Revanth 'Develop Hyderabad's Major Tourist Attractions'

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Monday directed officials to develop the Taramati Baradari cultural complex near Golconda Fort and the Durgam Cheruvu Lake here as major tourist attractions. 

Located close to the city's IT hub, Durgam Cheruvu features a cable-stayed bridge and boating activities among other attractions. Reddy, who held a review meeting with officials on tourism, said the Purana Pul heritage bridge should be promoted as a tourist destination, and arrangements can be made to accommodate tourists on the bridge. If possible, traffic on the



heritage bridge can be diverted.

The CM told officials to modernise the Manjeera and Dilkusha government guesthouses here. He also asked them to improve Vikarabad near here under the Tourism Hub Development Scheme and also the Lord Veerabhadra temple in the town. 

He suggested appointing a committee to manage the temple affairs, similar to the board of Lord Narasimha temple in Yadadri-Bhuvanagiri district. The CM also instructed that the forest department lands in the Core Urban Region (CURE) in Hyderabad be promoted as eco-tourism destinations.
