During his meeting with Gadkari in Delhi, Reddy pointed out that the northern part of the RRR was declared as National Highway 161AA in 2017 and disclosed that the state government has already acquired 94 per cent of the land required for the project.

Stating that 125 km of NH-765, which connects Srisailam with Hyderabad, 62 km falls in Amrabad, the Chief Minister urged Gadkari to approve and sanction funds for a four-lane elevated corridor in the Amrabad forest area.
