Way almost cleared for Amberpet flyover: Kishan Reddy

He pursued the matter seriously after joining the Union Cabinet

The much-delayed flyover works at Amberpet are likely to start again with most of the land acquisition completed, save for seven structures including a couple of religious structures and private properties. Once the underground utilities like water pipelines are relaid and high-power electric cables are shifted, the piers construction could begin, according to Union Minister of State for Home G. Kishan Reddy. Talking to the media after inspecting the area along with officials on Thursday, the Union Minister said the Centre had already agreed to do the entire project estimated at ₹500 crore upwards from start to finish and had also agreed to share cost of land acquisition as well as shift of utilities like power lines, water pipelines and others. While the work has been proposed originally when he was local MLA, he took it up more seriously after he had joined the Union Cabinet and had communicated with Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Municipal Administration Minister K.T. Rama Rao and officials concerned with most of the 250-odd properties taken over.
