Hyderabad : 

Telangana Vidyavanthula Vedika released the model of Telangana state map and how it will look on the India map, at the Press Club, Somajiguda, here on Tuesday. The official map will take some time to be released. T

he model map was released by TJAC chairman M Kodandaram, TNGO president Deviprasad Rao, TJAC leader Mallepalle Lakshmaiah and senior journalist Ramachandra Murthy. Speaking on the occasion, Kodandaram said the Telangana map is released to identify the new state in India map and to indicate its geographical boundaries with neighbouring states. He said Telangana state lies at the centre of India and will act as a transit zone for states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Odisha in respect of trade and commerce.

Telangana, by its geographical location, has all the possibilities to emerge as a textile hub, he said and emphasised the need for improving road infrastructure for enabling better transportation links with other states. “Road infrastructure in Warangal, Karimnagar and Adilabad need to be improved,” he said. Kodandaram said along with Pranahitha project, bridges should be constructed over Godavari river for connecting Telangana with Maharastra and Chhattisgarh in a better manner. “The area between Ramagundam and Kagaznagar should be developed as an industrial belt. The map is also important for creation of new districts and delimitation of constituencies.”

TNGO president Deviprasad said finally the long cherished dream of Telangana people got realised. “Now, the task it rebuilding it and proving wrong the criticism that small states are not viable. When we say development, we don’t mean creating some infrastructure and buildings. Development means improving the living standards of everyone.”

Telangana Vidyavanthula Vedika president Mallepalle Lakshmaiah, who published the map said though official version of the map will take time, they wanted to bring out a model of the political map and show the people how our new state looks on the map of India. Senior journalist Ramachandra Murthy and BJP leader Surabhi Bhooma Rao spoke.
