Hyderabad: The Telangana Government will be taking a decision on relocation of religious structures by GHMC including temples and mosques, which are causing obstruction to smooth flow of traffic in the city, only, after consultations with social and religious bodies. Replying to question in the Telangana Legislative Council, Home Minister Naini Narsimha Reddy explained that since the civic body was developing plans for multiple roadways at junctions and flyovers on the important roads for free flow of traffic without any hindrance, the government was considering consulting religious bodies and taking them into confidence, prior to removing any religious structure which was causing obstruction.
On the effective traffic management, he informed that the Hyderabad Traffic Integrated Management System Project (H-TRIMS) with 221 traffic signals is in operation with online control from the ‘Traffic Command and Control Centre’ (TCC) at office of the Commissioner of Police. Automated Traffic Challan Management System, Over Speeding Detection and wrong side driving detection Management System are proposed to be initiated.
The government is spending Rs 250 crores for traffic control management, this year. The Home Minister said that the city which has crossed 1 crore of population, has 30 lakh vehicles and each year 3 lakh new vehicles were hitting the roads. Amongst these vehicles, the annual increase of bikes is 20 percent, cars 15 percent and heavy vehicles 5 percent. He also informed that the accidents have come down from 350 (2013-14) to 174 (2014-15). Most of the vehicles involved in the accidents are medium sized vehicles.
