Event Summary

India — Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has written to Union Ministers Manohar Lal Khattar and G.

The appointment, agreed upon during a June 24 meeting, is crucial for the valuation and financial examination of Metro Phase 1 to facilitate its takeover by the India — Telangana government, as well as for studying the financing structure for Phase 2.
