  "account": "A public forum in Warangal unanimously adopted a resolution on Wednesday, recommending the new airport be named Kakatiya Maharani Rudrama Devi Airport. Distinguished attendees included historians, legal experts, academics, doctors, lawyers, and citizens. The organisers plan to submit a formal memorandum to the Chief Minister, Governor, and Union Ministry of Civil Aviation.\n\nChief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has previously invited public suggestions for naming the new airport in Mamnoor after the state government acquired the necessary land. Pragna Bharati Vice-President Mamidi Giridhar emphasized Rudrama Devi's valour and administrative legacy, insisting that her name be associated with the airport. The proposed name would reflect Warangal's historical connection to the Kakatiya dynasty and match the proposed Kakatiya architectural style for the airport terminal.\n\nThe resolution cited Rudrama Devi's military leadership, administrative reforms, irrigation systems, trade promotion, and public welfare initiatives as key reasons for the recommendation. Examples of the dynasty's water management and commerce strategies, such as the Kakatiya-era chain-tank irrigation system and the 'Abhaya Sasana' at Motupalli port, were highlighted. Professors V. Somasekhar, Y. Sudarshan Rao, and L. Ram Gopal Reddy, along with other Pragna Bharati members, participated in the event.",
