SCR, GHMC agree to resolve pending ROB/RUB works

The SCR and GHMC officials have resolved to expedite pending issues with regard to land acquisition and utilities shifting for taking up Ranigunj Road-Under-Bridge (RUB), Sanathnagar RUB, additional ROB (Road Over Bridge) at Fatehnagar, RUB at Gundlapochamplly and RUB at Malkajgiri at a coordination meeting held here on Wednesday.

DRM-Secunderabad R. Gopalakrishnan and GHMC Commissioner R.V. Karnan participated in the meeting with their respective officials to discuss on the elimination of level crossings (LCs) within the GHMC area as they contribute to traffic congestion and train safety.

It was decided to eliminate these LCs through the construction of grade separators within the GHMC limits. The drainage issues at Hyderabad Yard, Moula Ali yard, and Hafizpet yard, where direct discharge of drain water onto the railway tracks has been causing track flooding during the monsoon was also highlighted. Officials from both sides are to inspect these locations, and undertake necessary measures to mitigate the issue, said a press release.
