  "account": "Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has instructed his officials to plan a Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system in congested areas of Hyderabad, with the aim of improving connectivity between residential and industrial zones, as well as existing public transport networks. At a recent review meeting, Reddy requested officials to conduct a global study of the best PRT systems and submit their findings at the earliest. The proposed system should connect high-traffic locations and industrial employment centers with Metro Rail, MMTS, and bus stations, according to Reddy, who emphasized the importance of utilizing advanced technology, selecting appropriate locations, and ensuring efficient maintenance during the system's design process. Reddy also directed officials to expedite the construction of flyovers and underpasses to enhance connectivity within the CURE region, alleviate traffic congestion, and streamline overall traffic flow. During the meeting, the Chief Minister reviewed road development works around KBR Park, instructing officials to optimize traffic flow under the proposed one-way system, including at intersections, free left turns, and U-turns. He urged them to hasten the relocation of utilities, ensuring timely completion of the works. Reddy also directed officials to expedite the construction of the flyover from Nagarjuna Circle towards Jubilee Check Post, citing Mumbai's infrastructure progress as a benchmark and demanding a thorough examination of the city's construction methods and technologies. The meeting also addressed the feasibility of constructing a radial road parallel to the Hyderabad-Mumbai bullet train corridor and the potential for widening existing roads and building new ones between Shankarpally and Chevella. The Chief Minister requested officials to evaluate the possibility of utilizing recycled water in various non-potable applications, including data centers, high-rise buildings, landscaped areas, and parks, to reduce reliance on fresh water.",
