Informing that the works of cable bridge constructed across the river Manair under the downstream of Lower Manair Dam were already completed, he said load test was also completed successfully.

Karimnagar: Telangana Planning Board vice-chairman B Vinod Kumar on Friday said that Manair River Front would be a jewel in the crown of Karimnagar town. Based on the request made by BC Welfare Minister Gangula Kamalakar in the recent Cabinet meeting, the Chief Minister released funds for the MRF project.

Informing that the works of cable bridge constructed across the river Manair under the downstream of Lower Manair Dam were already completed, he said load test was also completed successfully. Cable bridge is going to become a gateway for vehicular traffic heading towards Warangal, Huzurabad and Manakondur, he said. Vinod Kumar made these comments while participating in the Pattana Pragathi programme along with Kamalakar in different areas of Karimnagar town on Friday.

Vinod Kumar informed that efforts have been made to develop Karimangar as the second biggest city after Hyderabad. Though the city was not eligible to establish an IT tower, it was materialised with the initiative of Kamalakar. Kamalakar had also informed the Chief Minister about the works to be taken up in the by-pass road and Chandrashekhar Rao will decide in this regard soon.

Stating that Pattana Pragathi is being continued in 142 municipalities, Vinod Kumar said Chief Minister was allocating huge funds to municipalities to provide more facilities since half of the State’s population was living in towns. He lauded the Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar for perfectly implementing the instructions issued by the State government. The Chief Minister paid special focus on the development of Karimnagar town. As a result, MCK is ahead of others in several issues.
