Traffic police have observed that the commuters are facing issues while travelling on the existing road to proceed towards the Secretariat and Lakdi-ka-Pul.  Accidents occur after the motorists join the traffic coming from the other side (from Tank Bund) and proceed towards the Secretariat. “Based on the traffic police observations, the GHMC decided to facilitate a free left to avoid road accidents,” Executive Engineer, GHMC Radhika told Telangana Today.

Moreover, this initiative is part of a broader effort to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion in the area. By providing a dedicated left turn, the civic body hopes to ease the bottleneck that often occurs at this junction, especially during peak hours. GHMC is spending Rs 84 lakh, and the works will be completed within a month, added the official.
