Medak: In a rare honour, the postal department launched a postal cover and a postal stamp on the historical Medak fort on Monday.
Since Medak Collector Prathima Singh was making efforts to develop the fort into a sought-after tourist destination, the postal department’s initiatives will boost her efforts.

MP Raghunandan said that he would also try to get funds under the Centre’s ‘Swadeshi Darshan’ programme to develop Medak fort and other tourist places in the district.
