The Minister said administrative sanction for works in the second phase of the SRDP, which were proposed with Rs.4,305 crore, would also be accorded shortly. Under the second phase, 36 projects were being proposed.

All these projects were finalised to ease traffic congestion. In case any new projects were to be included, the opinion of public representatives would be taken accordingly, he said.

Regarding the double decker structure on the BHEL-Miyapur via Allwyn Junction to ease traffic flow, the Minister responded positively and said it would be examined.

In the past, when Defence authorities denied lands, the project was proposed to avoid land acquisition. It would be a bidirectional flyover with the Hyderabad Metro Rail operating at one level and vehicular traffic on the other level, he explained.
