Telangana Minister Jithender Reddy has publicly called on the central government to formally notify the Hyderabad‑Bengaluru defence corridor, a route that links two major military hubs in the country.
Reddy, speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad, highlighted the corridor’s potential to streamline logistics, improve rapid deployment capabilities, and enhance overall defence readiness.
He urged the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Home Affairs to expedite the process, noting that a formal notification would attract investment in infrastructure and boost regional security.
The minister also pointed out that the corridor could serve as a critical link during times of crisis, ensuring swift movement of troops and equipment between the southern states.
