The Telangana government has decided to rename a road that houses the US Consulate General in the state after the 45th and 47th United States President, Donald Trump. The high-profile road along the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad is set to be called Donald Trump Avenue.
The state government will write to the Union Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy, informing them about the plans. Earlier this year, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, while addressing the annual US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) conclave in Delhi, had proposed naming important roads in Hyderabad after leading global corporations.
The proposal is part of the Telangana government’s initiative to position the state as a symbol of innovation-driven India. In addition, the state government is also considering dedicating some more roads in honour and recognition of distinguished individuals and corporations.
For instance, the upcoming Greenfield radial road, which connects to the Nehru Outer Ring Road at Raviryala in the city and the newly proposed Radial Ring Road will be named after the late industrialist, Padma Shri Ratan Tata. The government earlier changed the name of the interchange in Raviryala to ‘Tata Interchange.’
Additionally, it has been decided to name a prominent stretch as the ‘Google Street’, recognising the global impact and contribution of Google Maps and the corporation. Hyderabad will also witness the establishment of the corporation’s largest campus outside the United States.
