The direction was issued in a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed challenging the proposed metro alignment which passes through several notified heritage precincts, including Charminar, Falaknuma, Darul Shifa, Mughalpura Tombs, and Azakhana-e-Zehra.
The new Metro lines would be laid on the Nagole- Shamshabad, Raidurgam- Kokapet, MGBS to Chandrayangutta, Miyapur- Patancheru and LB Nagar – Hayathnagar routes. A Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been prepared and the same would be sent to the Centre for approval.
