HMDA Approves Elevated Corridors in Hyderabad
The government in Hyderabad has approved plans to build two new elevated roads.
One will go from Paradise Junction to Shamirpet, and the other from Paradise Junction to Dairy Farm Road.
These roads will help people travel more easily around the city.
The government is working to buy the land needed for these projects, which includes both defense and private land.
They plan to finish building the roads within one year.
The minister in charge of this project, D. Sridhar Babu, told the local government that they are committed to completing it on time.
He also talked about a policy called HILT, which aims to move industries away from the city to reduce pollution.
He said the government is doing this to make the city a better place to live.

Another elevated corridor from Paradise Junction to Dairy Farm Road is also being planned.
