Hyderabad: City paid dearly for halting of widening

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: Lack of desiltation and halting the nala widening project has maximised the submersion of low lying areas in the city. The civic body had widened 55 metres by tunnelling the pipe drain at Nawab Saheb Kunta, widened 200 metres nala at Kalaniketan to Musi river missing links, it had widened nala by 16 metres by constructing storm water drain from Qayam Nagar -Fortview colony to Musi river gap portion in Ashok Vihar Colony and 100 metre nala widening was also done from BSNL office to KPHB Cheruvu drain. The official, citing land acquisition and encroachment removal as primary hindrance for the project, said nala widening could not be taken up without addressing both issues. The official also stressed that the corporation could not widen the city’s nalas even in the next 15 years without strong political will.
