Telangana's road network to get a boost: ₹6,478 crore sanctioned for HAM projects
As part of phase 1, works will be taken up across 17 packages covering 373 roads with a total length of 5,190 km. Tenders have already been called and construction is set to begin shortly. 'Good roads are more than just infrastructure — they are the foundation for economic growth and regional equality,' Mr. Reddy said. 'This initiative will connect every village to its mandal and every mandal to its district headquarters with high-quality roads.'
The plan envisions blacktop roads from all villages to mandal centres and double-lane roads from mandals to district headquarters, aiming to drastically improve transportation, access to services, and local mobility. Minister Venkat Reddy thanked Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy for approving the plan promptly and reiterated that infrastructure is a core priority for the government.
He also acknowledged and appreciated the efforts of senior officials from the R&B department and Special Chief Secretary Vikas Raj, who supervised multiple field visits and helped prepare a detailed project report.

Chirag faces heat from NDA over crime remarks
Patna: A day after criticising the state govt and police over law and order issues, LJP (Ram Vilas) chief and Union minister Chirag Paswan continued to draw sharp responses from alliance partners Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and JD(U) on Sunday. Following Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's remark branding Chirag as a politically inexperienced figure, his son and HAM(S) president Santosh Suman launched a scathing attack of his own. However, BJP leader and PHED Minister Neeraj Singh Babloo maintained that while internal criticism is welcome, Chirag remains very much part of the NDA fold. "It has become fashionable nowadays to gain media attention by issuing statements on crime," Suman said. "Where does morality go when criminals are welcomed into parties with pomp and show?" he asked. JD(U) MLA from Parbatta, Sanjeev Kumar, also hit out at Chirag, questioning his political influence in the state. "He doesn't have a single MLA in Bihar. There is no question of him supporting the Nitish Kumar govt," Sanjeev said. "If he had contested the Lok Sabha elections alone, he would have known his real standing. His party won seats only because of votes cast in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's name," Kumar added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mini House for 60 sqm for Seniors with Toilet and Bath (Price May Surprise You) Pre Fabricated Homes | Search Ads Search Now Undo Despite the criticism, Chirag's LJP(RV) had a clean sweep in the Lok Sabha elections, winning all five seats allotted to the party. Meanwhile, Purnia MP Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav commented on Chirag's growing political alignment with Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor. "Prashant should formally declare Chirag as his CM candidate. If Chirag wins even a few seats in the assembly elections, he will pose problems for JD(U)," he said. Reacting to the HAM(S) leaders' criticism, Jamui MP Arun Bharti, Chirag's brother-in-law, said, "Manjhi may consider himself a prominent Dalit leader, but the people will decide that in the upcoming elections."
