‘Telangana Buddhist monuments should find place in world tourism map’

Telangana deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu said that significant development of tourism will be visible in the state within one year under the Indiramma Rajyam programme. Speaking with reporters after visiting the Khammam fort, Bhatti stated that on important Buddhist festivals, celebrations should be organised at Buddhist monuments in Nelakondapalli of



Khammam.

“The government has already sanctioned Rs 10 crore for promotion of Buddhist tourism sites and works should be started soon. Kondapalli Aramam has not lost its prominence and it should be protected while also opening old ‘Aramams’ to tourists. Measures should be taken to provide adequate facilities and security to tourists,” said the Telangana deputy chief minister.
