Traffic to be diverted

Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD: In view of the ongoing construction of the flyover at Nalgonda crossroads, the MCH and Traffic Police have decided to divert the ongoing traffic towards Saidabad via Akbar Bagh crossroads after taking up widening at a few stretches in the next few days.

In the return direction for vehicles coming from Saidabad, however, traffic will be allowed on the normal route. The traffic police was urged to help in temporary diversion of buses and lorries plying towards Saidabad to set up barricades for erecting girders.

MCH Commissioner Sanjay Jaju, Addl. Commissioner of Police (Traffic) A.K. Khan, Addl. Commissioner (Traffic & Transportation) N.V.S. Reddy, Addl. Commissioner (Project & Planning) Mr. K. Dhanunjaya Reddy and other officials took these decisions on inspecting the flyover work site on Tuesday.

Piers (pillars) were ready and girders were being pre-cast in the yard inside the Disabled Welfare Department compound at Malakpet, informed Mr. Reddy. The Commissioner directed Town Planning officials to remove footpath encroachments and also improve service road between Malakpet and the Gaddiannaram market.

Mr. Jaju said the foot over bridge (FOB) at Dilsukhnagar has become extremely popular with pedestrians. Remaining work on constructing bus bays, bus shelters, street furniture and other facilities will be done in the next 10 days along with widening the footpath near Hanuman Temple. He also wanted removal of new huts that have come up on the proposed Musi South corridor road between Moosarmabagh causeway and the Chadarghat Bridge.

Town Planning section, in the meantime, had removed about 500 encroachments including sign boards, stalls, steps, bunks, flats in stilt floor, etc., from areas of Nallakunta, Langar House, Yousufguda, Somajiguda, Nampally and S.P. Road on Tuesday.
