Tourism Minister Jupalli Inspects Harita Taramati Baradari Resort, Expresses Dissatisfaction over Maintenance

The Minister inspected Haritha hotel rooms, Haritha restaurant, Pushpanjali Amphitheater, auditorium, swimming pool, toilets along with the officials.

The Minister expressed his dissatisfaction with the management of the green resort. The officials were directed to immediately take up the repairs of potholes near the entrance, remove the garbage and complete the work immediately to ensure a pleasant atmosphere. The Minister inquired about the staff working at the premises.

Later, a review meeting was conducted with the tourism department officials on the management of the green resort and the creation of facilities.

Speaking to media persons after the reviewing with the officials, Minister Jupalli Krishna Rao said that Taramati Baradari is in a prime location but the expected income is not coming even though it is in a wide area. Income is not good due to negligence of officials and no one cares about the past. The management of green hotels under the tourism department has become defective due to wrong decisions taken at various levels.

Due to the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) being in force, they did not conduct a review of the Tourism, Excise and Cultural Departments. From now on, we will visit the field regularly. Government institutions will also be designed to compete with the private sector," Minister said.

"We will focus on creating better facilities for tourists and visitors along with increasing government revenue. We design green hotels to provide a pleasant atmosphere. We will take tough decisions from now on. We asked the officials to change appearance in three to four months of resort," Minister added.
