Hyderabad: A delegation led state education minister on Wednesday requested Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari to release the funds for the National Highways in Telangana.

They told Mr Gadkari that the widening of NH 365B close to completion and one and a half kilometre stretch at Nagaram in Suryapet district needs to be developed as a four lane road in view of the increasing traffic in the area.
