The Metro Rail project, is expected to roll out its services this October. A 16-km rail stretch between Nagole and Begumpet and another 11.9-km stretch between Miyapur and SR Nagar are expected to be thrown open for public, most likely on Dasara.
Metro Rail thus is set to emerge as one of the key planks for the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi and chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao as he prepares his party to win the GHMC polls later this year.
The chief minister’s renewed focus on the capital, be it the ‘Swachh Hyderabad’ campaign that is set to kick off on May 16 or the plans for creating citizen-friendly infrastructure, road repairs and building of parking complexes, point to the TRS gearing itself up for the civic polls in earnest.
