TRS politicos oppose new link roads in Hyderabad that could ease traffic pressure
Deccan ChronicleHyderabad: TRS MLAs, MLCs, corporators and party leaders are resisting the plan of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to develop link and slip roads to take the traffic pressure off arterial roads. The move has irked several party leaders since most of the link roads pass through residential areas, eating up built area. Though 28 link roads do not require any land acquisition according to the master plan, political leaders are up in arms against the civic body claiming that they own land adjacent to the road. The roads include a 20-metre link road connecting New Allapur with Sunnam Cheruvu, a 100-feet one km link road from GV Hills to Masjid Banda Road via Prabhupada layout, a 2.2-km link road from Nizampet to Hitex junction road via Vasanthnagar and NAC, a link road from HT Lines to Miyapur, a 230-metre link road connecting Botanical Garden Road, Kondapur, with the Hafeezpet railway track, a 200-metre link road from Akshaya Food Court, Gokulnagar, to NH 9 via IDPL and a 1.8-km link road from Miyapur Metro depot to Masjid, Kondapur, via IDPL Employees Colony.
