Telangana CM Revanth Reddy Lays Foundation Stone Of Elevated Corridor

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has said that his government will work in coordination with the Centre without any inhibitions keeping in mind the public interest of the State.

While laying the foundation stone for the elevated corridor at TIMS, Alwal in Secunderabad, he said that since the formation of his government, they are committed to the comprehensive development of the state and are trying to work in coordination with the Centre.

He said that the project was pending for years as the previous state government locked horns with the central government on various issues and sidelined the project by neglecting the people’s needs.

“The previous government delayed the allocation of land and the renewal of the lease of the Chandrayangutta defence land. My government reviewed with the authorities and handed over the defence lands”, he said while addressing the gathering.

He stated that the state government is going to take up the second phase of the metro rail with an expansion of 75 Kms. Speaking on his efforts in initiating the elevated corridor, he said “I took up the issue of the elevated corridor to the notice of the Centre when I was the Member of Parliament and it was sidelined after the previous government had some dispute with the Centre.

The elevated corridor is proposed with an outlay of Rs 2,232 crore. It will en route Paradise Junction – West Maredpally – Kharkhana – Tirumalagiri – Bollaram – Alwal – Hakimpet – Tumkunta – ORR Junction (Shameerpet).

The total length of the corridor is 18.10 km, with an elevated corridor of 11.12 km and an underground tunnel of 0.3 km length. The required land for the corridor is 197.20 acres including 113.48 acres of defense land and 83.72 acres of private land.

The corridor will also pave the way to the ORR Junction without any traffic hurdles. The construction of the elevated corridor will ease traffic problems on the Medchal, Quthbullapur, Karimnagar and Adilabad stretch.
