The Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government has plans to rename various streets in the state following a recent proposal to name the upcoming greenfield radial road connecting the Outer Ring Road (ORR) with the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR) as a tribute to the late industrialist Ratan Tata.
Another proposal suggested rechristening of a high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad as ‘Donald Trump Avenue.’
Additionally, the government suggested acknowledging Google and Google Maps' global impact and contribution by naming a prominent stretch ‘Google Street.’ This suggestion was announced earlier this year by the chief minister while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi.
Why does CM Revanth Reddy want to rechristen streets after leading global corporations?
Revanth Reddy wants to rechristen streets after world leaders and leading global corporations as a move to position the state as a hub for innovation-driven development and to recognise their contribution. To honour distinguished individuals and corporations, the state government is considering dedicating roads in their honour.
The press release said, “The road along Google’s upcoming campus, set to be the company’s largest outside the US, in Hyderabad’s Financial District, will receive this recognition."
Moreover, the government has also proposed naming roads Microsoft Road and Wipro Junction, recognising the companies’ presence and contributions in Hyderabad’s IT hub.
The release added, “Microsoft and Wipro are also expected to receive recognition in the city’s topography, with a Wipro Junction and a Microsoft Road, in line with the chief minister’s vision.”
