Rasoolpura diversions: Try out alternative routes, Hyderabad CP tells public
Hyderabad: With route diversions triggering massive traffic snarls near Rasoolpura, the City Police has suggested that the public try out alternative routes and transport modes, including the Hyderabad Metro Rail.
Police Commissioner CV Anand, who on Saturday reached the spot and took stock of the situation, said the implications of the diversions were being studied. Suggesting that regular commuters on the stretch look at alternative travel modes including the Metro, Anand said more efforts were being made to effectively regulate traffic as well in the area.
Also asking commuters from LB Nagar, Vanasthalipuram and Nagole to use other routes instead of the Begumpet road, Anand said the Koti, Nampally, Masab Tank roads could be used to reach the IT Corridor.
The situation arose after the City Traffic Police had to impose restrictions between Karachi Bakery and Minister Road owing to works under the Strategic Nala Development Programme, expected to continue for 45 days.
Anand said lakhs of vehicles use the Begumpet road on a daily basis, the stretch being a crucial link between the IT corridor and the city’s eastern side. The Commissioner also said a meeting would be held with GHMC officials and other departments to speed up the work. Traffic officials in the meanwhile have been asked to install animated signage boards to alert commuters.
