Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad   

Foot in the sky at last!

After much dilly-dallying, there is finally deliverance for the brand new Foot-Over-Bridges (FoBs), standing tall on the city horizon for a couple of months now. Municipal Corporation of Hyderabad is planning to officially inaugurate them next week!

Work at four FoBs was completed months back, but they were not thrown open to the public.

Peeved over this, pedestrians, mostly college students had `inaugurated' the bridges themselves and were using them though workers had erected irons sheets to stop people from using them.
