Hyderabad: An intensive green drive taken by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority is turning travel on the Outer Ring Road into a much more pleasant experience.
The green drive, which is being taken up all along the ORR, including at all the intersections, medians and also the sideways, has given the already stunning facility a deep shade of green all over.
The efforts, in fact, began five years ago, and has been on since with lakhs of saplings planted on the different stretches of the ORR. Avenue and valley plantations were taken up on different routes, including at Narsingi, the Narsingi-Kollur route, Kollur-Patancheru, Patancheru-Mallampet, Dundigal-Shamirpet and Shamirpet-Keesara stretches. Maintenance and constant monitoring is being done by the HMDA’s Urban Forestry wing.
Urban Development Special Chief Secretary Arvind Kumar on Sunday took to Twitter to share photographs of the latest green drive with some stunning aerial shots of the ORR and its greenery.
“An intensive green drive has been taken up on #ORR including all intersections, median & sideways ☘️🌿,” he said, adding that Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao and Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao were reviewing the progress regularly.
“You will see a pleasant difference every time you drive by,” he said.
