Strategic location fails to fetch tag

Though located at a strategic place, Adilabad has been neglected in the process of selection of cities for the SCM.

Adilabad is located in the centre of the proposed Hyderabad – Nagpur industrial corridor and recently Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhar Rao announced that an airport would come up near Adilabad town.

Adilabad, located on the borders of Telangana and Maharashtra, is slowly emerging as the transit point in the industrial growth with the recently introduced Telangana’s new industrial policy-2014 that is popularly called Industrial project and self certification system – (TS-ipass).

The new policy is being touted as a catalyst in the industrial growth as 23 industrial projects got clearance which will be established at various places in the district.

It is fact that comparatively the availability of the government land is more in Adilabad district when compared to other district in the state to create massive infrastructure for comprehensive development.

Adilabad town would have been developed as prominent industrial city in the industrial corridor if it was selected for smart city scheme by the central government.

Both Adilabad and Mancherial municipalities had been selected for ‘Amruth’ scheme and will get nearly Rs 20 crore every year for the development of these two municipalities.

It seems that the central government compensated these two towns by selecting them for Amruth instead smart city.
