Petition urges Telangana government to pause road projects in Hyderabad
What happened
A group of urban planners, transport professionals, and citizens petitioned the Telangana government to pause new flyover and road-widening projects in Hyderabad. The petition, titled ‘Let’s Un-Choke Hyderabad’, calls for a review of infrastructure works under the Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure and Strategic Road Development Plan. The signatories argue that road expansion has failed to provide lasting relief from congestion and encouraged private vehicle use.
