Kishan Reddy Urges Telangana for Metro Progress
A big boss in the central government, Mr. G Kishan Reddy, wrote a letter to the chief minister of Telangana, Mr. A Revanth Reddy.
He asked the chief minister to quickly take over the first part of the Hyderabad Metro from a company called L&T.
This is important because the central government has already said yes to expanding the metro, called Phase-II.
But before that can start, the state government needs to finish taking over Phase-I.
Mr. Kishan Reddy wants the chief minister to send officials to a special team that will help with both taking over Phase-I and planning Phase-II.
He also wants the takeover process to be done quickly so that the plans for Phase-II can be sent to the central government.
The metro is a big project that helps people move around the city more easily.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy urged Telangana CM A Revanth Reddy to expedite the takeover of Phase-I of the Hyderabad Metro from L&T.
The central government has given in-principle approval for Phase-II but insists on completing the takeover of Phase-I first.
A joint committee with officials from both the central and Telangana governments is to be formed, but Telangana has not yet nominated its officials.
Kishan Reddy emphasized the need for quick action to avoid delays in the metro expansion project.
Phase-I of the Hyderabad Metro covers approximately 69 kilometers and is operated by L&T, while Phase-II aims to extend connectivity to newer areas.
