The construction of elevated expressways and the Regional Ring Road would boost connectivity and mobility, besides supporting economic and social integration. These infrastructure initiatives were transformative, creating a modern and accessible state for all its residents, he said.

The Governor said the government’s commitment to respecting constitutional institutions was resolute and unshakable. By maintaining cordial and constructive relations with the Union Government, the Telangana government exemplified the true spirit of federalism enshrined in our constitution, he said. “The federal spirit strengthens the fabric of our democracy and ensures harmonious governance,” the Governor said.

The Governor said the State Government entered an MOU with NDMA for the implementation of “Sendai Frame Work for Disaster Risk Reduction” which was aimed at initiating measures for reduction and minimising the impact during disasters.

In December 2024, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy inaugurated “Vruksha Parichaya Kshetram” with 75 unique themes showcasing 1869 plant varieties that hold cultural significance and promote the conservation of biodiversity, he added. Earlier, the Governor reviewed the parade, march past by contingents and presented awards to the best Marching Contingents, officers and Police officers.
