Telangana CM seeks centre’s help for phase 2 of Hyderabad metro rail project

Telangana chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday, January 12 said that he has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to sanction the Regional Ring Road (RRR) and the ‘regional ring rail’ to develop Hyderabad into a global city and support various development projects in the state, including the second phase of the Hyderabad metro rail.

He said 60 percent of Telangana’s income comes from Hyderabad, adding he has sought the Union government to allot a dry port in the state and to extend help to complete the Kazipet Railway Coach Factory at the earliest.

Telangana is not competing with Amaravati (the capital of Andhra Pradesh) but with the world, he said.

We should work together for Telangana. I have no differences with anyone. We will meet everyone for Telangana’s development and seek everybody’s cooperation,” Reddy said.

He hoped that the Union Cabinet would approve (the second phase of) the Hyderabad Metro Rail project in the next meeting.
