The Telangana government has decided to develop 55-km stretch along the Musi river, joining two points of the Outer Ring Road in the first phase of the Musi River Front Development project.
Chief Minister A.Revanth Reddy, during a meeting with the representatives of the Confederation of Indian Industries on Saturday, shared his vision for the development alongside the river. Amusement parks, waterfalls, children’s watersports, street vending zones, business area, and shopping malls would be created, he said.
A tourism circuit will be developed linking heritage structures dotting the Musi such as Charminar, Golconda, Qutb Shahi tombs, Taramati Baradari and others, Mr.Revanth Reddy said, and invited industrialists to invest in the project in public-private-partnership mode. Facilities should be provided to attract the tourists to stay from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. He proposed check dams on the river and installation of water fountains and waterfalls. He offered support for establishment of five-star hotels in the area.
