The Telangana government is set to develop the Karreguttalu hillocks in Mulugi district into an eco-tourism hub, an area that was once a stronghold of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). Senior officials, including State Director General of Police B Shivadhar Reddy, highlighted the importance of infrastructure for regional progress during a recent visit. Key projects include the construction of a police outpost and a 15-km road from Pamunoor to the hill region, aimed at facilitating access and promoting tourism. The principal chief conservator of forests, Dr C Suvarna, noted that previous eco-tourism efforts were limited, but conditions are now favorable for expansion.
