Hyderabad: Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday underscored the need to develop infrastructure in line with the growing urban population.
“We are trying to make Hyderabad a traffic-free city and we are moving forward with plans to make Hyderabad a signal-free city,” he said, stating that with modernization and urbanization, the city will have to face more new challenges in the future.
Speaking at the Parliamentary Standing Committee meeting on housing and urban affairs, he said the State government has also decided to bring a three-level system of underpass, surface, and elevated. “Mere expansion of roads is not enough to control the traffic. There is a need to develop a multi-transport system,” he said.
“To overcome the parking problems, we are setting up multi-level parking in the city. We have made plans to develop the state into three parts - CURE, PURE, and RARE,” he explained.
According to the Chief Minister, the CURE area on the Outer Ring Road has been identified as the service sector while the PURE area outside the ORR and inside the Regional Ring Road has been identified as the manufacturing sector.
The RARE area outside the RRR has been identified as the agriculture sector.
“We have unveiled the Telangana Rising-2047 Master Plan for the comprehensive development of Telangana. We are going to develop the Musi Riverfront and connect it to our culture. We are taking steps to control pollution in the city,” he said. As part of this, the State government is introducing EV buses in RTC.
