    Telangana among seven states to get PM MITRA mega textile parks

    Hyderabad: An announcement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday stated that the ‘PM MITRA mega textile parks’ will be set up in Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

    The PM asserted that they will attract massive investments and create lakhs of jobs. However, he mentioned about the same during his public meeting in Hyderabad in July last year.

    “The parks would provide state-of-the-art infrastructure for the textiles sector and be a great example of ‘Make in India’ and ‘Make For the World’,” Modi tweeted.

    ‘”Mega Integrated Textile Regions and Apparel Parks (MITRA) scheme would boost the textiles sector in line with the vision of 5F (Farm to Fibre to Factory to Fashion to Foreign),” the PM added.

    The Centre’s assistance for these parks, categorised into Greenfield and Brownfield, would be 51 per cent and the balance would have to be borne by the respective State governments.

    After the Azamjahi Mill shut down long ago and considering the rich history of Warangal, the Telangana government decided to set up a mega textile park with an allocation of 2,000 acres of land at Shayampet for the same.

    Following the announcement, Union minister G Kishan Reddy thanked Modi for announcing a textile park ‘as a gift for Telangana’, adding that the farmers and weaving community would benefit immensely from this venture.

    Kishan Reddy also said that he had written to Telangana chief minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao on February 14 last year, requesting him to submit a strong proposal for the scheme.

    Modi also lauded the persistent efforts being to make India’s defence sector self-reliant while remarking that the boost to self-reliance in defence also reaffirmed.

    Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is going to increase the green cover in Hyderabad by installing oxygen parks under flyovers. The aim is to convert vacant spaces under the city’s flyovers into beautiful green spaces, also known as ‘Oxygen Parks.’

    Recently, Telangana State Minister for Panchayatraj and Rural Development, Errabelli Dayakar Rao announced the move to convert flyovers in Hyderabad into green spaces. One of the first such facilities is coming up under the Kamineni flyover in the LB Nagar zone.

    Under this initiative, authorities will plant saplings with the capacity of releasing more oxygen compared to other regular species.

    Vertical gardens on pillars of flyovers in Hyderabad

    For more beautification and an increase in green cover, the corporation will install vertical gardens at the pillars of the flyovers in Hyderabad.

    The oxygen parks under flyovers in Hyderabad will have a play area for children, comfortable seating arrangements, parking areas, fountains, and sculptures. In the future, more facilities like provision to exercise, walk, or jog are likely to be added to these parks.

    Oxygen parks to reduce air pollution in Hyderabad

    Apart from increasing lung space in Hyderabad, these oxygen parks under flyovers will also help reduce air pollution in the city. The green cover under the flyovers will help absorb pollutants and provide clean air for the people in the vicinity.

    The GHMC’s initiative to convert flyovers in Hyderabad into green spaces is a step in the right direction. It will create a sustainable and healthy environment for the people of the city.

    By utilizing the vacant spaces under the flyovers, the city will not only look greener but also be more livable for its citizens.

    Beautification of Hyderabad

    Even since the formation of Telangana state, the government is undertaking various works to beautify the city. These projects include the construction of parks, reviving of steep wells, the improvement of tourist spots’ condition, etc.

    In order to ease traffic congestion, the government has constructed various flyovers, and model corridors in and around Hyderabad.
