The government on Monday informed the House that a
length of three kilometres was pending between Patancheru and Shamirpet
in the Phase-III of the ongoing Outer Ring Road (ORR) work. The work
could not be completed due to High Court stay orders. The works on the
Shamirpet-Pedda Amberpet stretch have been programmed so as to be
completed by June 2013.

Revealing the details during
the socio economic survey 2012-13, the government said of the 33 radial
roads planned for improved connectivity between the Inner Ring Road and
the ORR, seven roads totalling to 53.72 kilometres have been completed
at a cost of Rs.341.17 crore. Improvement of five more radial roads of a
total length of 54.45 kilometres is proposed, at an estimated cost of
Rs.287.51 crore to be funded through loan assistance from JICA.

Proposals
for an approximate cost of Rs.1,500 crore have been submitted to the
government for improvement of 16 radial roads totalling up to a length
of 195 kilometres. The Road Over Bridge at Kukatpally planned at an
expenditure of Rs.68.68 crore, could be completed by the end of this
month, after unending delays apparently due to design changes by
Railways.

Hussainsagar dredging

An
expenditure of Rs.165.84 crore has been incurred on the Hussainsagar
Lake and Catchment Area Improvement Project since 2008 when the project
was first initiated with an outlay of Rs.370 crore, funded through a
loan from Japan International Cooperation Agency.

The
government said the ongoing dredging of nutrient-rich sediments at the
mouth of the Balkapur, Banjara and Picket nalas which flow into the
Hussainsagar Lake will be completed in a year’s time.

Two
Sewage Treatment Plants of 20 MLD and five MLD capacities have been
commissioned and another of 30 MLD capacity is nearing completion.
Construction of interception and diversion structures, ring sewers, and
trunk sewers have been taken up, and under various stages of progress
and completion, the House was informed. Both the projects are being
taken up by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA)

Other
HMDA projects finding mention in the report were proposals for the
Inter-City Bus Terminal in Miyapur, Logistics Parks at Batasingaram and
Mangalapally, and the residential layout planned at Uppal Bhagat
village.
