Departments Urged to Clear Hyderabad Metro Phase II
Hyderabad plans to build the second phase of its metro system.
The project has seven proposed corridors.
Before construction can move ahead, many government departments must give permission.
These permissions are called no-objection certificates, or NOCs.
Jayesh Ranjan asked the departments to provide them quickly.
Metro managing director Sarfaraz Ahmad said the expansion is urgently needed.
The approvals will help Hyderabad seek permission from the central government.
Officials from many agencies met to coordinate the process.
