Addressing the gathering, the minister recalled how the chronic patients had to be referred to hospital in Hyderabad in case of emergencies for want of medical treatment facilities here.
However, in new state of Telangana the first ever medical college has been set up here. Also, the health facilities in government hospitals have been strengthened.
On the lines of Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad, a 1000-bed superspecialty hospital is being built in place of the old collectorate.
In future, Metro Rail would be extended from Shad Nagar to Divitipalli IT corridor, he said. He promised the gathering to provide Metro facility to Shamshabad airport from here so that one would be able to reach the airport in one hour.
The largest ever eco-park in the country – the KCR eco-park would be extended to over 26,000 acres, he said. Tourism would be developed on a grand scale by promoting jungle safari.
He pointed out that the land prices near the bypassroad shot up to Rs 6-7 crore per acre from the earlier Rs 5 lakh an acre.

The tourism attractions developed in the town like Silparamam, tank bund road, island in the middle of the tank here, laser show, Manyamkonda rope-way project, budget hotels would bring more and more tourism glory to the town.
In undivided AP, the government of Andhra Pradesh paid no attention for development of the Arya Vysya community, whereas the Government of Telangana stood by them.
