HYDERABAD: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has instructed officials to begin work on the development of T-Square by November and to come up with vibrant designs for the project, making it an iconic structure and a happening place in Hyderabad.
The government has taken up T-Square to create a digital canvas for Hyderabad, keeping in mind the needs of the social media age. Revanth held a review meeting along with IT Minister D Sridhar Babu on T-Square and the AI Hub at the Integrated Command and Control Centre on Saturday.
He instructed officials to design T-Square as an intersection of entertainment, tourism, food, and business, attracting visitors round the clock. He also suggested making provisions to accommodate major global players like Apple within T-Square. The designs should take parking needs into consideration to ensure seamless vehicular movement, he added.
