The construction of a 29-km road through the forested regions of Mulugu district in Telangana is nearing completion, which will soon make the scenic Karreguttalu Hills accessible to the general public and tourists. This area, once a stronghold of the Communist Party of India (Maoist), features 15 to 20 peaks with waterfalls, caves, and narrow valleys. As of now, only 1.5 km of the road remains to be completed. Mulugu Superintendent of Police, Sudhir Ramnath Kekan, noted that the road construction faced significant challenges, including the need to clear landmines planted by Maoists. The region was declared Naxal-free following a successful operation by security forces, which killed 31 Maoists between April and May 2025. The Telangana and Chhattisgarh governments, with central support, are now focused on promoting tourism in the area while ensuring it remains free of extremist activities. The road is expected to greatly benefit local communities, particularly the Gotti Koya tribals, by improving access to transportation, healthcare, and education. The region, known for its Ooty-like climate, has potential for adventure tourism, including caving and rock climbing, and is expected to attract visitors due to its proximity to the popular Bogatha waterfall.
