Hyderabad: The Andhra Pradesh government on Monday decided to assign the construction of two metro rail projects - one at Visakhapatnam and the other at Vijayawada-Guntur-Tenali and Mangalagiri (VGTM) region - to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). DMRC principal advisor E Sreedharan has been appointed as the advisor for the Government of AP on the metro rail projects.
Sreedharan met AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu for about 30 minutes and discussed the project with him.
Naidu asked the DMRC principal advisor to finish both the projects within three-and-a-half years apart from preparing a feasibility report for a rail-based mass rapid transit system.
The State government has also proposed a metro rail project for Tirupati. However, the Tirupati metro rail project will be taken up once the Visakhapatnam and VGTM projects are completed. Sreedharan assured the Chief Minister that the DMRC would support and assist the State government in every possible way.
