Government’s criminal silence over the completion of 100 years of Assembly building shows its prejudice towards the heritage buildings built during Asif Jahi era. Government’s indifference towards one of the Hyderabad’s most majestic buildings, is indicated through Metro Rail project too. The work of Hyderabad Metro Rail is in progress and as part of the first phase it is planned to begin Miapur to L B Nagar metro. Passing by various areas of L B Nagar, this train will run by Moazzam Jahi Market, Nampally, Public Garden. The Hyderabad Metro Rail corridor will also run parallel to the majestic Assembly building. Hence with the pillar and tracks constructed for this project, the landmark building is set to have an obstructed view. Government’s approval to this project shows its hostility towards heritage structures of the city. Repeated demands to change the route or make the alignment as underground have fallen on deaf years.
