So far we have conducted more than 100 review meetings with the officials and continuously monitoring the development works in the park. All efforts are on to ensure that the works in the park are completed as early as possible. Our main focus is on providing basic amenities and facilities to the visiting tourists,” said the MLA.

So far the authorities had completed only 10 per cent of works, while remaining 90 per cent of works is still under various stages of completion. “We have asked the officials to plan appropriately, so that the works can be completed on time without any delay.

This park will have all kinds of amenities on par with parks in Hyderabad. We will provide 30 bicycles to students and will also put in place battery run vehicles for elders to help them take an easy trip inside the park,” added Srinivas goud. According to Srinivas Goud, the State government had released adequate funds for taking up of various development works in the district.

Similarly, the Knowledge Center and Fish aquarium museum at Pillalamarri are also other attractions for the tourists in the district.

Among all, the Mayuri Eco Park will be the best attractions with adventure sports, children’s park, water sports, yoga center, four and eight kilometer walking tracks and ‘Nakshatra Vanams’ along with various theme parks and gardens all across the 200 acres. In addition to this, children will have ample number of play items for them to enjoy the serene greens of the Mayuri eco zone.
