Commute time increased by 30 minutes
The time taken to travel between Khairatabad and Punjagutta and viceversa has gone up by over 30 minutes as com- pared to last year. Rubble, barricades and dug up sewer lines are posing problems to commuters.
People visiting the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) complain of hardship. Meena, a nurse at NIMS says, “The Punjagutta stretch is always choked with vehicles and due to the construction waste there is always a traffic jam.”
Prior to the Ganesh idol immersion, Metro works were stopped for a few days. In a weekly spe- cial task force meetings held by the Chief Secretary, the instructions to the concessionaire building the project,
L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad (L&TMRH) and Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) authorities were to remove the ob- stacles and increase the road space for commuters.
Raghav, a software employee said, “Huge cement blocks are causing in- convenience and two wheelers pass through gaps between the bar- ricades.
There is no one to monitor.” Material and equipment has been lying on the road, which eats away space, and as a result there is no space for pedestrians, rue passerbys.
