He noted that having a Union Minister from Telugu soil is a significant advantage and appealed for continued cooperation to meet the growing infrastructure needs of Telangana. The Deputy Chief Minister highlighted that while an agreement was reached with the Airports Authority of India as far back as 2007, the Mamunuru project suffered a decade of neglect under previous administrations. Historically, Mamunuru Airport was established in 1930 during the Nizam era and was once amongst the largest aviation facilities in South India. With the land now in the hands of the Union Ministry, the state government expects a rapid transition toward active construction. The Deputy Chief Minister emphasised that the positive response from Ram Mohan Naidu serves as an auspicious sign for the future of Telangana’s aerial connectivity, potentially transforming the economic landscape of the Adilabad and Kothagudem regions.
