Old City Metro Rail Dropped

People of Old City are being deprived of development in the name of communal politics. The news is emerging that the alignment of Hyderabad Metro Rail will be changed so that it do not enter Old City. According to the approved plan, Metro Rail should go by Charminar and reach Falknuma.

However, MIM party is opposing this move in the name of Land Acquisition and some mosques getting destroyed. The party is suggesting to change the alignment from beside Musi to Bahadurpura, thereby the Metro Rail will not enter Old City, the bastion of MIM. However, the proposed route is not viable, Metro Rail authorities say.

TRS government is not keen on poking the Muslimelectorate ahead of the 2019 elections. L&T has offered to construct the project as per the original alignment or stop the Metro Rail at Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station at Chadharghat.
