Hyderabad: The TS government has presented a rosy picture of Hyderabad city to NITI Aayog officials. NITI Aayog officials held discussions with officials of all government departments to collect data and prepare a vision document.
The government submitted various projects to be taken up in Hyderabad for the improvement of water supply, transport and roads. It also presented proposals for projects worth about Rs 3 lakh crore in all urban local bodies in the state.
The government said it had laid special focus on Hyderabad to make it a “Global City” with excellent infrastructure, ensuring safety and enhanced quality of life while preserving its heritage and culture. As an example, the government said under the Musi river front development, it had proposed a Taramati Baradari walk way.
The government said resources would be mobilised by land monetisation and land pooling. A survey would be conducted to unlock government land, which would be used as a resource for innovative financing.
Geographic information system mapping will be done on all properties to identify unassessed and under-assessed properties for efficient collection of taxes and prevention of revenue leakages. The state government said that the integrated master plan for HMDA was being finalised.
For the development of counter magnets, feasibility studies were being prepared along with detailed project reports for transit oriented growth centres. The government said that in GHMC area stormwater drains would be improved and conflict free intersections and hassle-free corridors with good facilities and road infrastructure will be developed.
