New area to be widened for metro rail

(Hundreds of properties to be demolished even in the newly built area like Madhapur. What kind of planning is this? A proper cost benefit analysis has never been done for this project. No wonder the authorities don't want to share the documents even under RTI. What else is this if not a scam?)
Hi-Tec City-Madhapur road to be widened for metro rail project  Times of India, Jul 18, 2011.
It is not just decades-old roads that are being widened for the metro rail project, a road developed in the late nineties will also be widened for the over Rs 12,000-crore project. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to widen the Madhapur main road (Kavuri Hills to Hi-Tec City) to 120 feet from the existing 80 feet...While some properties are likely to get partially affected, some will be bulldozed completely for road expansion.

    This road has been very recently developed. In spite of the very recent development, there has not been any planning for contingencies / future growth etc.

    In the master plan prepared by the cyberabad development area it was proposed as 120 feet. That meeans the land was available with the Govt. to make it 120 feet or needed to be acquired to make it 120 feet. Had that acquisition happened at that time, the expensess would have been less.

    Now, who is going to pay for the widening ? Is it going to be GHMC who will compensate the property owners or the HMR ?
