Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has directed officials of the Municipal Administration department to chalk out plans for developing the areas within the Outer Ring Road (ORR) as a single unit.
He wanted the jurisdiction of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) to be gradually extended to the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR). Steps should be taken to develop radial roads for connecting the ORR with RRR while focus should be on providing civic amenities in the municipalities surrounding the city, he said. The officials concerned were directed to appoint consultancy to prepare a vision for development in line with the Master Plan-2050.
The Chief Minister conducted an elaborate review of the functioning of the HMDA with senior officials on Wednesday. He wanted steps to be taken to protect the lakes and tanks under the HMDA’s purview, and officials were directed to expedite land pooling with coordination of district collectors concerned to plan development of the respective areas.
