We want to build two skyways in Hyderabad: KTR

Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao pointed out that it was due to the Union government’s delayed response to land acquisition that the two crucial skyways in the northern part of the city had taken a backseat.

“We want to build two skyways i.e., from Patny to Suchitra and Jubilee Bus Stand to Outer Ring Road (ORR), Turkapally. The money has been arranged, HMDA officials have been given all instructions about the project, and we decided to go ahead with the project even if the expenditure might run into Rs 3,000 crore or Rs 4,000 crore because it is for the



people. 

But for the last four years, we have been struggling to get a response from the Union government to allot the required Defence land that comes in the way of the project,” he said.

“Unfortunately, there are some Defence lands which need to be acquired to build these two skyways, but the Union government is refusing to help us. They have not been responding to our pleas for four years and they do not understand the woes of the people of Hyderabad, as a result of which these skyways are getting delayed,” he said.
