TSTDC Managing Director Christina Z Chongthu said “The department is focusing more on building tourism infrastructure in the state. The Hussain Sagar water fleet has bagged a record collection of Rs 8 lakh on one day. We have projects worth Rs 375 crore in pipeline and they all will be executed to set a benchmark of good impression among the tourists.”
The department also conducted various competitions for its employees in connection with the occasion and distributed prizes to the winners and runners. About 300 employees from various units of TSTDC in the state have participated in the events and celebrated the anniversary at LB Stadium on Monday.
