Hyderabad: Additional commissioner of police (Traffic) Amit Garg said it would be a more challenging task for the traffic police to regulate traffic in the joint capital of Greater Hyderabad. The movement of VIP traffic will increase as two governments would be functioning from one city.
“We (traffic police) will definitely need more personnel,” he said. As far as protocol of which chief minister gets a green channel first if their paths cross, the traffic police will write to the General Administration department for the protocol list, he added.
B. Purushothama Reddy, former director of Town and Country Planning and presently a consultant with Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority said though satellite townships planned by HMDA have been delayed, the new land pooling policy of the government will facilitate development of huge townships on the city’s outskirts.
“We are going ahead with the task of developing large clusters of agriculture lands into developed layouts and plots. HMDA is taking up land pooling in 500 acres near Pratap Singaram and another 500 acres near Edulanagulapalli which fall on the eastern and western side of the ORR respectively,” he said.
