GHMC Works to Reduce Traffic Congestion in Hyderabad
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is taking steps to reduce traffic congestion in the city. To identify problem areas, GHMC Commissioner K Ilambarthi, along with project engineers and town planning officials, inspected several traffic-heavy locations on Sunday.
In a recent meeting, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy directed officials to speed up developmental projects. He instructed them to quickly complete land acquisition and tender processes to ensure smooth progress.
Following these orders, Commissioner Ilambarthi and his team visited key traffic congestion points, including Nanal Nagar, Rethibowli, Khajaguda Junction, IT Junction, Wipro Junction, and DLF Junction. He urged officials to complete the tender process quickly and begin work without delays.
As part of Hyderabad’s road expansion plans, Ilambarthi also inspected the route from Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital to Khairtabad via Rad Sun Banjara Hills Road No. 1 and Chintal Basti. These areas have been facing heavy traffic congestion for a long time.
Under the H-CITI initiative, GHMC plans to carry out 25 projects that include the construction of flyovers, underpasses, and railway under bridges (RUBs). Additionally, 13 projects will focus on widening and expanding roads to improve traffic movement.
Commissioner Ilambarthi emphasized that with Hyderabad’s rapid growth, these new flyovers will play a crucial role in easing congestion and ensuring smoother traffic flow. As these projects progress, the city’s infrastructure will improve significantly, benefiting residents and commuters.
