Sanagreddy: The Singur project is all set to get a face-lift, as officials prepare a proposal to develop the project into a sought-after tourist destination.

Health Minister Damodara Rajanarasimha directed Tourism officials to purchase two 50-seat boats to operate to the island in the reservoir. Speaking after examining the Singur project and surroundings on Monday, the Minister asked tourism and other district officials to prepare a master plan and road map to develop the area into a sought-after tourist destination. Since it was located close to Hyderabad, it would attract a huge number of tourists, he said, and asked officials to come up with a design to build a restaurant on the watch tower on the island in the middle of reservoir. A food court, children’s play area, landscaping and gardening too were suggested on the island.
