Nellore's NTR Centre to be transformed into Necklace Road replica

NTR Centre in Nellore to Mirror Hyderabad’s Necklace Road, Says MLA

Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy and NUDA chairman Kotamreddy Srinivasulu Reddy have announced plans to transform the NTR Centre near Irukalala Parameswari temple into a landmark modeled after Hyderabad’s iconic Necklace Road. The announcement came during their site inspection on Friday, where they revealed that a bronze statue of former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao would be installed as part of the development project.

Beautification Plans Ahead of Vinayaka Chaturthi

In addition to the NTR Centre initiative, Ganesh Ghat is set to receive a facelift with the installation of welcome arches ahead of the Vinayaka Chaturthi festival. These beautification efforts aim to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the area during the festive season.

Infrastructure Push in Nellore Rural Constituency

TDP State spokesperson K. Giridhar Reddy highlighted broader developmental efforts in Nellore Rural constituency, noting that every village in the region would receive funds for infrastructure and basic amenities. The constituency has already benefited from projects worth ₹8.51 crore during the coalition government’s tenure over the past two years.

Speaking at the inauguration of a village health clinic in Gollakandukur, Mr. Giridhar Reddy urged residents to recognize the ongoing development spree in the area.

Why It Matters

The proposed transformation of NTR Centre into a Necklace Road-style attraction reflects a push to elevate Nellore’s urban landscape and cultural significance. The beautification of Ganesh Ghat further underscores the focus on community engagement and festive spirit. Additionally, the infrastructure investments signal sustained efforts to improve living standards across the constituency.
