No clarity yet from Centre on alienation of land for skyways, says Minister
Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao has broached the rankling issue of Defence lands yet again and said the Central government has not been giving any clarity for the last four years on alienation of the lands for construction of skyways. Speaking at a meeting after inauguration of the Balanagar flyover on Tuesday, Mr. Rama Rao said the State government is ready for construction of skyways between Patny and Suchitra Junction and between Jubilee Bus Station and Turkapally through HMDA, but the works could not be initiated due to the Centre’s non-cooperation. For the last four years, there is no word from the Central government about the land allocation due to which the structures are being delayed, the minister lamented. The State government could take up the works at Suchitra Junction even if the Centre does not come forward, he announced. Road widening works too will be taken up at Bachupally and Qutbullahpur, he added.More Related News
