Telangana to Name US Consulate Road ‘Donald Trump Avenue’

The Telangana government has announced a plan to rename a prominent road in Hyderabad after US President Donald Trump. The decision marks an unusual diplomatic gesture and aligns with the state’s broader initiative to rebrand key roads after global leaders and corporations.

Proposal to Rename Road Near US Consulate

The government confirmed that the road adjoining the United States Consulate General in Hyderabad will be designated ‘Donald Trump Avenue’.
