Hyderabad metro – update 29/04/06
S. Jaipal Reddy(Union Urban Development Minister) - expressed hope that the Metro project for Hyderabad would start within the current financial year. Assuring technical and financial support from the Centre, he said the project should be a reality on the lines of Delhi Metro.
E. Sreedharan (Delhi Metro chief) - said compared to other cities, Hyderabad Metro had many positive features. The city had already undertaken widening of roads and the envisaged Metro route did not have any underground sections and the city was located in a quake-safe zone. Delays in decision-making would only push up the cost of the project.
Mr. Shabbir Ali - said the State Government proposed to take up three-line, 60 km project in the first phase of the estimated Rs. 7,000-crore project. The three lines were Miyapur- Chaitanyapuri (26 km and 25 stations), Secunderabad- Falaknuma (13 km, 14 stations) and Tarnaka- Shilparamam (21 km and 20 stations).
