SHRI RAJAIAH SIRICILLA (WARANGAL): There are several Historical monuments, cultural heritages, Lakes and Wile life sanctuaries in my Warangal Constituency, Andhra Pradesh. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has identified certain popular historical destinations and submitted proposals to the Ministry of Tourism for consideration of development of mega tourism circuit. There is Fort Wrangal, Thousand Pillar Temple, Ghanpur Mulugu Temple, Ramappa Temple and Lake, Laknavaram Lake, Pakala Lake, Bammera (Saint Poet Pothana Samadhi Complex), Valmiki Temple, Wildlife Sanctuarly in Eturunagaram in Warangal City. It covers well established corridor of Hyderabad, Nalgonda and Warangal Districts of Andhra Pradesh. Every year large numbers of visitors travel through N.H. No. 202 to Warangal. Except few popular temples, majority of destinations lack facilities and signages to reach the destinations. The development of this circuit will not only bring out the historical ancient religious, cultural, heritage to the future generation but also generate employment and revenue.
