Residents of Darushifa, Mir Aalam Mandi, Kotla Aalijah, Bibi Bazar and Sultan Shahi wish that the metro rail pass by these localities. ‘It will not only ensure easy traveling but residents of the area can also enjoy the fruits of development’ they said. A large number of people residing in the above mentioned areas, who are also the owners of the properties in those areas, reached Siasat office and met Siasat editor Mr. Zahed Ali Khan.
The representative delegation led by Congress, TRS and BJP leaders told Siasat editor that they are ready to handover their properties for metro rail project. Hence government should retain the present plan and should not realign the route. They felt that the metro rail project could bring an economic revolution in old city which will positively affect the economy of the people residing in those areas.
After hearing to the appeal made by the delegation, Siasat editor Mr. Zahed Ali Khan told that no doubt metro rail project is the part of old city also. Old city people should also be provided opportunities of development and prosperity on par with new city. Mr. Khan lamented that although HMR covers 72.2 kms. But the project has covered just 18.2 kms in old city while 52.2 kms railway network is being laid in new city while the fact is old city people also pay the tax and they too want to avail the facilities like metro rail.
