HYDERABAD: The proposed four-way tunnel road underneath the KBR park will cause heavy damage to the groundwater table in the rocky terrain resulting in shortage of groundwater in the areas served by the aquifers beneath the picturesque national park, said a senior geophysicist.
Moreover, a fault line passes through the KBR park from Banjara lake to Shankarpalli. Any tinkering with the geomorphology of the KBR park and Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills in the vicinity may impact the fault line resulting in tremors. Also, heavy traffic movement through the tunnel may activate the fault line and it may trigger tremors, cautioned professor G Ramadass, professor emeritus, department of geophysics, Osmania University.
