Dr Srinivas Goud, who is also the local MLA said it was a matter of happiness to have inaugurated this KCR Eco Urban park through the hands of MP Santosh Kumar whose Green India campaign has generated nation-wide attention to the cause of greenery and environment.
On the occasion, both Santosh and Srinivas Goud flagged off to two safari vehicles, modeled on Discovery Channel, that would be used to take visitors in the forest. They spoke to the media from a watch tower, the highest point in the park, and said that soon this place would become a major tourist attraction in not just Telangana, but from far and wide.
