The remaining 5.5-km Hyderabad Old City metro route of ₹2,000 crore from MGBS to Falaknuma, for which Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy had laid the foundation stone a few days ago, is likely to see some forward movement only after the Lok Sabha polls conclude.
It is also because the land acquisition process is yet to be completed as the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) officials are still trying to ascertain the ownership of the 1,100 properties likely to be affected during the proposed road widening to 100 feet or 120 feet where the four overhead stations — Salarjung Museum, Charminar, Shalibanda and Falaknuma, are being planned.
