Kattangoor (also spelled Katangur, Kattangur or Katangoor) (Telugu: కట్టంగూర్, Urdu: کٹنگور) is a village and mandal located along National Highway 9 (India) in Nalgonda district of Andhra Pradesh, India. It lies on National Highway 9 between Narketpally and Nakrekal. Nalgonda city lies to the south of Kattangoor.
Prior to the annexation of Hyderabad State by India, Muslims formed a significant portion of Kattangoor's population and Kattangoor was a strong centre for Razakars.[1] Along with neighbouring Nakrekal village, Kattangoor was captured from Hyderabad State by the Indian Army's Punjab Regiment on September 17, 1948.[2]
