As the Bhogapuram International Airport gears up for its inauguration next month, he issued orders to take necessary measures to bring the Master Plan roads into operational use by the 25th of this month. On Tuesday, he held a meeting at the VMRDA conference hall with officials from the Planning, Engineering, GVMC, National Highways (NH), and Roads & Buildings departments, as well as representatives from GMR. Speaking on the occasion, he directed that priority be given to developing the junctions connecting these road construction corridors—particularly those linking to National Highways—and to installing directional signage along these routes.
