- 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.
This clearly shows the utter lack of planning in city development.
