Now that the Hyderabad Metro Rail project works are being executed in core areas of the twin cities with heavy traffic congestion, chief secretary PK Mohanty has instructed the officials to conduct joint inspections so that the inconvenience for road-users is minimised and traffic moves smoothly.

Mohanty held a special task force meeting on Thursday and reviewed the progress of the Metro project. He advised HMR, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), roads and buildings (R&B) department, additional commissioners of police (Traffic), Hyderabad and Cyberabad and L&TMRHL to conduct joint inspections so that the inconvenience for road-users is minimised and traffic moves smoothly.

Making a detailed presentation, HMR managing director NVS Reddy explained that the project is going at a brisk pace and so far 1,150 foundations (35 km), 1,001 pillars (30 km) and 8,205 segments (sufficient for 25 km) have been completed.

The track laying work in the first stretch of 8 km between Nagole to Mettuguda is going on briskly and that trial runs of trains will start in this stretch in July and this stretch will be opened for passenger traffic on Ugadi next year as scheduled.

Highlighting the unique financial model of the HMR project, Mohanty informed the senior officers of Central and state government departments that this project is a path-breaking project for the whole country and that all departments and organisations will have to extend wholehearted support for the successful implementation of this project.

He reviewed the shifting of utilities like water lines, sewer lines, electrical cables etc., and has set targets for the GHMC, R&B, National Highways, Water Board, APCPDCL and APTransco for facilitating smooth execution of the project.

Emphasising the need for a coordinated effort, he instructed NVS Reddy, GHMC commissioner Somesh Kumar, APCPDCL managing director SAM Rizvi and HMWSSB managing director J Syamala Rao to conduct fortnightly review meetings to create enough work fronts for the concessionaire L&TMRHL to further speed up the project. Nodal officers have also been appointed from all government organisations to resolve the issues at the field level.

Principal secretary, medical and health, LV Subrahmanyam, principal secretary (MAUD) SKJoshi, finance secretary L Premchandra Reddy, HMDA metropolitan commissioner Neerabh Kumar Prasad, APSRTC managing director J Purnachandra Rao, Hyderabad district collector MK Meena, L&TMRHL mananging director VB Gadgil and other senior officials participated in the meeting.

'Swanky' Hyderabad Metro to open for public in July

Hyderabad Metro Rail’s “model station” in Uppal, which is in the final stages of completion, will be thrown open to the public in July to seek their feedback and suggestions and make changes accordingly.

Lifts, escalators and staircases are being built at each of the 66 stations along the 72-kilometre project in three corridors.

The three corridors are Corridor-I from Miyapur-LB Nagar (29 km, 27 stations), Corridor-II from JBS to Falaknuma (15 km, 16 stations) and Corridor-III from Nagole to Shilparamam (28 km, 23 stations).

There will be three joint stations at Ameerpet (Corridors I & III), Parade Grounds (Corridors II & III) and at MGBS (Corridors I & II).

The unique feature of the stations is that they are being constructed on the “spine and wing model”, resembling a bird, and 70 per cent of it is pre-fabricated. This is to avoid inconvenience to road traffic during the construction period.

The stations are being built as ‘cantilever stations’, perched on only one pillar at the centre, with no side pillars, unlike in Delhi and Bengaluru. This design has been used for the first time in the country.

The stations are divided into two levels, “concourse” (first level) and “platform” (second level). Passengers’ entry and exit by staircases, escalators and lifts will begin at concourse level which will be at a height of 8 m (26 feet).

Each station, 140 m by 20 m in size and designed to accommodate six-coach trains, will cost around Rs 40 crore.

The stage-I operation, from Nagole to Mettuguda (8 km), will have eight stations. They will be ready by December.

Metro coaches from South Korea are expected to arrive here in the third week of May. The trial runs will begin from June, initially on the ground-level tracks at Nagole depot. Commercial operations on stage-I will begin in April 2015.

“Parking facilities are being developed near all the stations. Each station will have two acres of parking space on an average. We are acquiring private properties where there is no government land. If a station has limited parking space, we will have mechanised parking facility. We have already identified parking space for 20 stations. If the parking facility is far from the stations, we will arrange feeder buses to transit passengers to the stations. All these options are being explored,” said NVS Reddy, managing director, HMR.

Metro stations will be eco-friendly, using solar power, natural ventilation and no air-conditioning.

The stations are being built in four categories, 30 m (100 feet), 36 m (120 feet), 45 m (150 feet) and 60 m (200 feet) to avoid additional land acquisition for construction.

Mr Reddy said the stations will be connected to currently running MMTS services at Bharatnagar, Begumpet, Malakpet and Falaknuma along with cardinal train terminals at

Secunderabad, Nampally and Begumpet. He added that the bus depots that will be interlinked include Miyapur, MGBS, Koti, Dilshuknagar, Charminar and JBS

Wont be surprised if Owasi becomes Home minister.

Everything to worry.:omghaha:

Raja Singh hai na, waise bhi Hyderabad will be Capital for both Telangana and Andhra for 10 years. so no drama till then. and by the time BJP will grow stronger in Telangana as well ;););)
 
I want to ask a question:
The contract to supply 627 escalators was given to an American company called OTIS. Why????
When there are 50 Indian companies that can supply escalators.

OTIS has manufacturing facilities in India. I believe in Bangalore.
