In view of the rally, the vehicles on the busy road from Jagtial to Karimnagar town would be diverted via Velichala cross roads and Chinthakunta by-pass road which was completed during the Congress regime. Similarly, the vehicles proceeding from Karimnagar town to Jagtial would be diverted by via Chinthakunta to Velichala cross roads towards Jagtial. The Collector informed the people to take note this instructions and plan their journey accordingly.
Incidentally, Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao would be inaugurating the medical colleges virtually from Hyderabad on September 15. It may be recalled that the Chief Minister, during his maiden visit to Karimnagar town after attaining power and formation of Telangana state in August 2014, promised the sanction of a government medical college in Karimnagar. Following the instructions, the district authorities had also allocated 42 acres of land belonging to University Pharmaceutical Sciences College of Satavahana University for the medical college, which was well-connected by-pass road without any traffic snarls on a serene location.
However, after nine long years of wait, the government had sanctioned a medical college in Karimnagar town. Instead of setting up in the sprawling and serene locations on the shores of LMD reservoir, the ruling party leaders had set up the medical college on the premises of TS seeds in Kothapalli village on the outskirts of Karimnagar town for ‘obvious reasons’.
