No Traffic problems, soon?

People of Twin Cities who are facing hardships, particularly severe traffic snarls and lack of efficient public transportation have to bear with it for another five years, Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA), Vice- Chairman Jayesh Ranjan said.
We are at least 10 years behind in terms of development and better late than never, we have started in real earnest now and shall cover up for the delay soon, Jayesh Ranjan assured."Miracles don't happen overnight and one has to wait patiently and be prepared to face problems for at least five years as the State Government is taking steps to improve transportation system in the Twin Cities," he said. Speaking on 'HUDA achievements and vision' at a lecture jointly organised by the Federation of Andhra Pradesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FAPCCI) and Builders Forum of Andhra Pradesh. Jayesh Ranjan said that to have an efficient public transportation system and to ease the traffic snarls, projects like Metro Rail Transit System (BRTS), Bus Road Transit System (BRTS), Elevated Expressway, flyovers, Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Radial Roads, among others, are being taken up. Once these projects are completed, they will reduce the traffic problems to a large extent and change the shape of the Twin Cities for the better, he said. We are at least 10 years behind in terms of development and better late than never, we have started in real earnest now and shall cover up for the delay soon, he assured. Developing infrastructure and providing civic amenities is a mammoth task and this cannot be fulfilled by the State Government alone, in this context private sector and other organisations should come forward and extend a helping hand to the government in the larger interest of the city, Jayesh Ranjan said. He listed out the works taken up by HUDA like ORR, construction of flyovers, parks development, lake improvement, restoration of polluted Hussainsagar lake, increasing green cover to 30 percent, among others apart from construction of integrated satellite townships.
