Hyderabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s itinerary in the city is being finalised. He will land at Begumpet airport on November 28 morning and will be flown by a helicopter to the Miyapur Metro Rail station accompanied by the Governor and the Chief Minister of Telangana. A helipad is being constructed opposite Calvary Church, adjacent to the Metro station at Miyapur, for the purpose.
The PM will inaugurate the Metro Rail and travel to Nagole or any distance of his choosing, and then return to Miyapur. From there he will be taken to HICC either by a helicopter or road, where he will inaugurate the Global Entrepreneurs Summit.
