Hyderabad: In less then 2 months since Congress Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy took charge, he scrapped a multi crore Hyderabad Metro Phase 2 project earlier proposed by KCR led BRS government.
The CM cites that the earlier plan was meant to favour only a section of public, while the plan now proposed is in the interest of the public and to ease traffic congestion.
On instructions, Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited ( HMRL) prepared a new route map. The new proposed metro rail routes will connect the airport from the four corners of the city to ensure the metro rail services are available to the majority of the commuters in Hyderabad city.
Currently, the Hyderabad Metro Rail is providing services on a stretch of 69 km in three corridors between Miyapur and LB Nagar, JBS station to MGBS and Nagole to Rayadurg.
In the Phase 2 expansion, the metro rail network between Secunderabad Jubilee Bus Station to MGBS will be extended up to Chandrayangutta Cross Road. In addition to this, the metro rail network will be constructed in four new corridors.
These proposals have been finalized to construct new Metro rail lines on a total stretch of 70 km under Phase -2. MD, HMRL Mr NVS Reddy stated that the preparation of DPRs for the new metro corridors is in full swing & in about 3 months the DPRs will be ready.
Here is route map:
Corridor 2 : MGBS Metro Station to Falaknuma (5.5 kms)
