Updated: February 24, 2015 15:47 IST

Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhara Rao announced on Tuesday that the Central Government has in principle agreed to earmark 40 acres of land within the vicinity of the Hyderabad Golf Course near Golconda Fort into a permanent Parade Grounds.

While promising complete support from the Government side for the promotion of golf and making the capital as the final destination for all golfing activity in the country, he said, “It is a pity that the two State Governments don't have a permanent Parade Ground and we have to beg the Union Defence Ministry every year to conduct the Independence Day celebrations," he remarked.

The Chief Minister was speaking at the inauguration of the Golconda Masters Championship, the biggest golf tournament, organised by the Hyderabad Golf Association (HGA) at the Quli Qutub Shahi Tombs. He appreciated the efforts of the HGA and the Telangana Tourism Department in converting what was originally a garbage dumping yard into one of the finest golf courses.

“It gives me immense pleasure that this magnificent golf course amidst the backdrop of the historic Golconda Fort is now one looked up as one of the important destinations in the golf circuit of India," the Chief Minister said. He also went for the 'putting' to formally inaugurate the Rs.40 lakh prize money event.

"Hyderabad is a great metropolitan city with a rich history but lot more work needs to be done to convert this into a dream city, hence we have hired a renowned consultant to submit a master plan (Hafeez Contractor). We look forward to everyone to support the Government in this regard," he said.

Mr. Rao confessed that he was “never a sports enthusiast and as a youngster I was always lured to arts, culture and literature”. But “I had a secret visit to this golf course after the last year's Republic Day celebrations and felt great when I saw it for the first time. I also picked up a few things about golf from our MP and chairman of Telangana Olympic Association Jitender Reddy," he said. HGA president N. Ramesh Reddy and joint secretary Capt Dayakar Reddy briefed the Chief Minister of HGA plans.

The Telangana Government will start work on the construction of its new Secretariat building at Chest Hospital near Erragadda as soon as the design of the premises was complete.

Roads and Buildings Minister Tummala Nageswara said at a press conference on Thursday that the Government had already placed order for the design of the multi-storied complex to come up on the sprawling campus of the hospital which will house not only the offices of Secretaries to Government but heads of departments also. The hospital will be relocated to Vikarabad.

Referring to his discussions with Union Surface Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, who was in the city on Wednesday, Mr. Rao said that he had requested conversion of 1,018 km of State Highways in Telangana into National Highways. The length of national highways in the State was 2,592 km now.

If the request was conceded, Telangana will touch the all-India average of national highways in any State. Mr. Gadkari assured to consider the request at a meeting of the concerned officials in the Surface Transport Ministry within a fortnight, Mr. Rao added.

Mr. Gadkari also assured the Government of considering its request for sanction of Rs. 2,000 crore for construction of roads in extremist-affected areas. The amount was raised because the Centre had included Adilabad, Karimnagar and Warangal among the districts requiring infrastructure development to overcome backwardness and extremism. Earlier, Khammam was the only district in the category.
