The grand plans of Telangana government to take up the redesigning and changing nearly the whole road network in Hyderabad under the Strategic Road Development Plan (SRDP), has reportedly waded into some rough weather with Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) lifting its hands off.
Sources say that GHMC has indeed turned down the proposal for funding the high priority project. The SRDP involves building flyovers and improved junctions all over the Hyderabad city to ease traffic congestion. The municipal corporation has been hit by poor revenues and wouldn’t be able to take up the heavy financial burden it would be imposing on the civic body.
The GHMC has reportedly informed to the municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) department that it should be funding the project including the costs for land acquisition as well as the administrative approvals for taking u first phase of project at a cost of Rs 5,000 crore.
As part of SRDP, GHMC was expected to take up construction of 20 flyovers and also road junction improvements at various locations including KBR Park junction, Road No 12 in Banjara Hills, Uppal, Bahadurpura, Rasoolpura, Cyber Towers junction and Film Nagar.
