Hyderabad: State Transportation and BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, Madhukar Naik, CEO, Secunderabad Cantonment Board, and Secunderabad Cantonment MLA Sri Ganesh inspected Dhobi Ghat ground to assess its potential as a sports complex.

According to the officials, the Telangana government has recently shortlisted Dhobi Ghat for transformation into a sports complex, promoting sports development in the region.
