Khammam: Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu has affirmed that state would see significant development of tourism within next one year.
Speaking to media persons after visiting Khammam Fort on Monday, he said the government would provide all necessary funds and support to create amenities at all tourism sites.
He was all praise for the initiative of Tourism Minister Jupally Krishna Rao to visit tourist places along with MLAs and ministers of the district concerned. Jupally has already completed such a programme in Mahbubnagar and took up Khammam district tour. He made a suggestion that MLAs and ministers visit and stay in tourist places along with their families so as to draw attention to the places. Noting that there are ample opportunities for development of eco tourism and temple tourism in Khammam district, the Deputy Chief Minister said that the forests from Kinnerasani to Bhadrachalam were ideal for eco tourism. Similarly, temple tourism opportunities are aplenty at Buddhist monuments in Nelakondapalli to Sitarama Swamy temple in Bhadrachalam via Jamalapuram.
