The Central government has given the green light to widen the NH 61 from Nirmal to Kalyan. This project will expand the road from two lanes to four over a stretch of 53 km in Telangana. Nirmal district legislators, including Eleti Maheshwar Reddy, Ramarao Patel, Palvai Harish, and MP Godam Nagesh, had earlier presented this plan to the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, in Delhi.
The government recently unveiled plans to upgrade 15 roads in the state to four-lane national highways. This ambitious project comes with a budget of 33,690 crore and targets completion by 2028. They have asked the State to quickly prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR).
