Hyderabad: MIM objects to flyover at Owaisi hospital
Hyderabad: After the Metro Rail route, the MIM has objected to the construction of a multi-level flyover at Owaisi Hospital junction that was proposed by the GHMC under the Strategic Road Development Plan.
Following an objection by MIM legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi, the GHMC drew up alternative options and presented them during a meeting on March 22. But the legislator sought further changes and proposed an underpass. He also wanted a uni-directional underpass at Midhani bus depot junction.
Accordingly, GHMC has instructed the contractor to prepare general arrangement drawings. After finalising them, the GHMC will send the plan to the state government for approval.
Similarly, the GHMC has changed the plan at Uppal and Rasoolpura junctions. The GHMC has written to the directorate of coordination, police wireless, Union home ministry, to initiate action to hand over 1.62 acres of land at Rasoolpura junction to meet the larger interest of the city.
The GHMC has taken up the SRDP at an estimated cost of Rs 19,263 crore in four phases. The state government has sanctioned Rs 2,631 crore for the first phase, and work is expected to be complete by April next year.
