Warangal has such a rich Kakatiya heritage. The terminal reflecting local culture sounds wonderful! Hope they also focus on temple tourism - Warangal has so many historic temples. Well done minister for mentioning 'Vikas Bhi, Virasat Bhi'.
Finally some action! My hometown Warangal has been waiting for this since forever. Students from the region having to go all the way to Hyderabad for flights will be a thing of the past. But I hope they learn from other states and avoid cost overruns.
Adilabad airport will be a lifeline for the tribal areas up north. My relatives in that region often struggle to reach medical facilities quickly. Air connectivity can literally save lives there. Let's hope they don't delay it like other projects 🙏
Good to see coordination between state and centre for a change. Warangal has immense potential - from IT sector to agriculture. But I have a small concern: land acquisition should be done fairly and farmers should get proper compensation. Hope the government ensures that.
Warangal with MRO, Cargo and FTO facilities will become a major aviation hub! This is the kind of forward-thinking infrastructure we need. Not just for travel but for creating local jobs. Proud moment for Telangana! 🔥
