36 revenue villages excluded from Hyderabad Metropolitan Region (HMR)

With this, the government has excluded 36 revenue villages from the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region (HMR) and extended its jurisdiction to 1,355 villages in 11 districts, covering 10,472.72 sq km. Thus, the jurisdiction of HMR will extend up to the Regional Ring Road (RRR), covering a buffer area of up to 2 km outside the RRR, which will then be designated as the RRR Growth Corridor.
