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. The government also plans to enhance the Guttikoya tribal settlements in the area, focusing on improving infrastructure and livelihood opportunities to foster long-term change. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop natural attractions in Mulugi district.
