RRR will be six-lane: Komatireddy
Hyderabad
Roads and Buildings (R&B) Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy announced that the long-pending Regional Ring Road (RRR) project will soon gain momentum, as it was being converted from four-lane to six-lane.
He said that the target is to complete the RRR within three years. 'We will meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari soon to push for it. Once completed, the very shape of Hyderabad will change,' he declared at a press conference on Thursday.
He added that the six-lane proposal would soon be placed before the Cabinet for approval, reminding that it was the Congress government that planned and completed the ORR project.
The Minister also said the construction of Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM) roads would be taken up to ensure quality and efficiency. 'Roads are not meant for contractors, they are for people,' he said. 'The Telangana government has called tenders worth ₹6,500 crore for the construction of village roads after coming to power.'
Jibe at KCR
Mr. Venkat Reddy challenged BRS chief K. Chandrasekhar Rao to come to the Assembly for a debate rather than blindly criticising the government. 'We will debate every issue if KCR dares to attend. Harish Rao and KTR are irrelevant now as they are just MLAs and not even Floor leaders,' he said.
