Metro India News | MULUGU : Minister for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development D. Anasuya (Seethakka) has called for developing tourism in Mulugu district while safeguarding its dense forests and natural resources to create sustainable livelihoods for local Adivasi and tribal youth. Speaking at a special meeting at the district Collectorate on Saturday with Jayesh Ranjan, who recently assumed charge as Special Chief Secretary of the Forest and Environment department, the Minister emphasized that eco-tourism must prioritise environmental conservation.

Highlighting the district's waterfalls, streams, and scenic landscapes, Seethakka urged officials to formulate development plans tailored to Mulugu’s unique topography. However, she cautioned that tourism expansion must never compromise the region's ecological balance or forest wealth.
