Good initiative by CM Revanth Reddy. But I hope they don't forget about environmental concerns while developing these industrial corridors. We've seen what happened to Musi river in Hyderabad 😔

As someone working in urban planning, I appreciate the plug-and-play industrial parks concept. This will significantly reduce setup time for businesses. Hope other states adopt this model too.

All good projects, but what about the farmers whose lands will be acquired? Government should ensure proper rehabilitation packages are in place first.

Warangal Airport development is long overdue! This will boost tourism in Kakatiya monuments and help local businesses. Kudos to CM for pushing this agenda ✈️
