Telangana Chief Secretary inspects proposed elevated corridors from Paradise Junction

On September 6, Telangana Chief Secretary Sanjay Jaju toured the proposed elevated corridors in Hyderabad, aimed at speeding up construction and enhancing connectivity. Accompanied by HMRL Managing Director Sarfaraz Ahmad and senior officials, Jaju inspected the alignments and project requirements at Paradise Junction. The inspection covered two major elevated stretches - one along NH-44 between Paradise Junction and Dairy Farm Road, and another along SH-1 (Rajiv Rahadari) from Paradise Junction through Bollarum, Gunrock Enclave and Shamirpet to the Outer Ring Road.

The elevated corridors seek to improve connectivity between key areas in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, offering faster access to the ORR from the northern parts of the city. They are also expected to alleviate congestion on existing surface roads, particularly the heavily congested Secunderabad-Bolarum-Shamirpet stretch.

Upon the inspection, Jaju urged officials to adopt a long-term, future-ready approach while planning the corridors, considering projected traffic growth and future infrastructure needs. He emphasized the need to accelerate land acquisition, utility shifting, inter-departmental coordination and statutory clearances for the projects.
