Karimnagar: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs and Karimnagar MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar has urged Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari to allocate ₹224 crore under the Central Road Infrastructure Fund (CRIF) to improve transportation facilities in the Karimnagar parliamentary constituency. He submitted a formal representation in Delhi today.

Bandi Sanjay brought several proposals to Gadkari’s attention, emphasizing the need for the development of rural roads and bridges in Karimnagar. He proposed upgrading single-lane roads to double-lane roads, including:

• A 15-km stretch from Keshavapatnam to Saidapur via Papayyapalle.

• A 30-km stretch from Kodimyala to Tandriyal via Govindaram.

• A 45-km stretch from Arnakonda to Malyala Crossroad via Gopal Rao Peta in Choppadandi Mandal.

• A 15-km stretch from Narayanapur to Ramreddy Palle via Singaram in Ellareddypet Mandal.

Additionally, Bandi Sanjay requested the construction of a high-level bridge over the Maneru River, connecting Gundlapalli to Pothuru Road (KM 18/0-2) and Bavupet to Khazipur (KM 2/0-2). He stressed that the total proposal includes the expansion of 90 km of roads and the construction of the bridge, requiring ₹224 crore in funding.

Minister Gadkari responded positively to the appeal, assuring Bandi Sanjay that an appropriate decision would be made soon. Gadkari also reviewed the progress of road construction projects already funded under CRIF in Karimnagar, reiterating the government’s commitment to improving rural infrastructure.

This initiative is expected to significantly enhance connectivity and transportation facilities in the Karimnagar region, benefitting rural communities and promoting economic growth.
