Nizamabad, Oct. 19: A ropeway project estimated at Rs 35 crore has been approved for Nizamabad’s historic Khilla Ramalayam temple. Nizamabad Urban MLA Dhanpal Suryanarayana announced the development at a press conference on Sunday. He said a Detailed Project Report (DPR) would be prepared soon. The project aims to develop the temple into a major tourist destination under the Centre’s Parvatmala scheme.
The MLA said he and Nizamabad MP Dharmapuri Arvind had pursued the proposal with Union Ministers. He also welcomed the recent visit of Roads and Buildings Department officials and ropeway company representatives to the site.

He also referred to poet Dasarathi Krishnamacharyulu, who was imprisoned at the fort. During his imprisonment, Dasarathi wrote the famous line, “Telangana Na Koti Ratanala Veena.”
