Road widening work near Charminar continues for the past two years but was halted in between for one or other reason. Sometimes it was the issue of delay in payment of compensation while sometimes the matter was stayed by the court.
It must be recalled that a special meeting was called in May 2011 at the behest of Mayor Majid Husain in which it was decided to complete the road widening work on war footing by 2012. However the work is still pending due to reasons mentioned above. In this situation commuters are facing a lot of hardships due to traffic congestion.
Yesterday it was witnessed that municipal staff was demolishing an RCC building near Charminar. Commuters feel that road-widening will ease the traffic flow and people will heave a sigh of relief.
