Metro thru Sultan Bazaar - A failed promise

Metro thru Sultan Bazaar (Hyderabad) - A failed promise. Exactly five years back (17June 2011), KCR addressing a public meeting in Sultan Bazaar warning of bloodshed if the metro dares to enter this heritage bazaar. Four years later, protesting traders pleading KCR to keep his promise (14Dec2015). Today's morning photos of metro construction - Sultan Bazaar resembles a ravaged street.

Metro rail at any cost?

No transparency, crucial documents not made public, serious damage to city's heritage. Still, the AP Chief Minister, Mr. N. Kiran Kumar Reddy says he is determined to take up the Hyderabad Metro Rail project "at any cost". He said that the project would be built irrespective of opposition from certain quarters. “Some parties are trying to stall the project, but we have to take measures to counter them,” he said yesterday (23June2011) in the "Education Fortnight" programme in the old city. He further appealed to Congress workers to help in building this project. Strange seems to be the ways of the AP government!

I hope the TRS chief, Shri K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who launched a blistering attack on this project the other day in Sultar Bazaar, will challenge the chief minister for an open debate on this project.
