WARANGAL: Prime Minister Narendra Modi offered prayers at the historic Bhadrakali temple in Warangal on Saturday, ahead of laying the foundations for a number of projects in Telangana. He was seen feeding grass to the cows at the temple after offering prayers at the temple.
The Prime Minister laid the foundation stone for 176-km-long National Highway projects worth over Rs 5,550 crores. The projects include a 108 km long Mancherial – Warangal section of Nagpur – Vijayawada Corridor. The segment would reduce the distance between Mancherial and Warangal by approximately 34 kilometres, cutting travel time and decongesting traffic on NH-44 and NH-65.
He also laid the foundation stone for the upgradation of the 68 km long Karimnagar – Warangal section of NH-563 from the existing two-lane to a four-lane configuration. This would help in improving connectivity to Hyderabad-Warangal Industrial Corridor, Kakatiya Mega Textile Park and SEZ at Warangal.
The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for the Railway Manufacturing Unit in Kazipet. The modern manufacturing complex, which would cost more than Rs 500 crores, would have increased Rolling Stock manufacturing capacity.
The production unit would be equipped with cutting-edge technology and facilities such as robotic painting of wagons, modern machinery, and a plant with sophisticated material storage and handling. It would aid in the creation of local jobs as well as the development of supplementary units in surrounding communities.
