The proposed visit of the Prime Minister, Mr. Manmohan Singh, to Hyderabad on 4th February has been postponed/cancelled. He was to lay foundation stone to the metro rail project which is a big scandal. One hopes it will not materialise.
We are a group of civil society activists and researchers who are concerned about public transportation in Hyderabad. We want a mass rapid transit system that includes the buses, trains (MMTS/Metro), sidewalks and cycle paths. But the proposed elevated metro will not meet these objectives.
