HYDERABAD: The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in principle accorded approval to convert the State Highway from Kalwakurthy in Telangana to Karivena in Andhra Pradesh into a National Highway and for construction of a bridge across Krishna river at Somasila-Siddheswaram. This will reduce the travel distance between Hyderabad and Tirupati by around 80 km.
Several BJP leaders, including Nagarkurnool BJP district president Sudhakar Rao and National BC Commission member T Achary, on Monday called on Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in Delhi and thanked him for the in-principle approval for the road.
