Hyderabad to get regional ring road

New Delhi, May 06: The Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari has praised the Telangana's Prestigious Kaleshwaram Project, who made a visit to lay the foundation stone for the flyovers at Uppal and Amberpet here on Saturday.

As the Kaleshwaram project was crucial for the state which would irrigate up to 36 lakh acres of land, all the required permissions were given by the Ministry and all obstacles were removed.

Only one permission which is required would be cleared shortly once the report is submitted by the officials, Water is a major problem for farmers to irrigate their agricultural lands, Minister Gadkari said.

He heaped praises on the State government for taking up the Kaleshwaram project. He said the State was setting an example for other states. Assuring that the Centre would extend all support to Telangana, he said the NDA Government did not want to mix politics with development.

Gadkari also sanctioned Rs 5,500 crore for 330 km of Regional Ring Road (RRR) next to Outer Ring Road which will cover the Sangareddy-Gajwel-Choutuppal route and the Choutuppal-Shadnagar-Kandi route. He also sanctioned Rs 1,000 crore for four laning of the Nizamabad and Madnoor stretches.
