It is a known fact that the Hyderabad
Metro Rail project has been facing many hurdles right from beginning. As
he vowed, KCR made sure
that there remains a rethinking on
part of L&T over the realignment near Sultan Bazaar and Gun Park
areas. At the same time MIM has been demanding for a realignment of the
Metro Rail route in Sultan Bazaar and also other areas all along
Charminar to Falaknuma section of Old city due to several religious
structures.
Metro Rail cannot be a reality in the Old City
The
government also bowed to the pressure of MIM.Now, L &T has finally
cleared the air that there will be no such realignment as it would lead
to huge cost escalation and that it would be sticking to what was the
original plan. The government has even agreed finally for the
same.Responding to the latest decision, Akbaruddin has thundered saying
if there is no realignment of Metro, then the entire Metro Rail cannot
be a reality in the Old City. With GHMC elections coming up, it would be
interesting to see how can KCR take on this challenge of MIM!
