Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, on Friday, asserted that his government wants to expand the next phase of the Hyderabad Metro Rail (HMR) to different parts of the twin cities, including the Old City, and link it up with the Hyderabad airport for the benefit of the poor and common man.
“I am taking the responsibility to extend the metro where the poor and middle class live and youth will get employment opportunities. We will build through the the Old City, which is the real Hyderabad, and link it up with the airport, upcoming High Court complex in Rajendranagar and other suburbs. The proposed Chandrayanagutta inter-change will propel development and opportunities for youth,” he said.
