Our Bureau
Hyderabad July 10 The Andhra Pradesh Government is in the process of preparing a master plan to strengthen infrastructure in Hyderabad, including removal of traffic bottlenecks and road widening works, as part of its efforts to make it a “world-class city”.
The Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, said the master plan will be ready in three months.
Parameters of report
The government’s efforts just got a boost with the just released IFC-World Bank report on ‘Doing Business in India 2009’ showing that Hyderabad is ranked second to Ludhiana as the most preferred destination of businessmen in India.
The parameters on which the report was prepared include starting a business, dealing with construction permits, registering property, trading across borders and enforcing contracts.
Second to none
The Chief Minister was happy that in spite of being an agrarian State, Andhra Pradesh, and Hyderabad, could achieve this distinction. He said once the daily water supply and power self-sufficiency became a reality in Hyderabad and other urban areas, the State would be top in the world map as an investors destination.
Detailed project report for road widening to de-congest traffic at a cost of Rs 550 crore has been submitted to the Centre for sanction under JNNURM.
Dr Reddy said proposal for sanction of MMTS under phase-II at a cost of Rs 614 crore was pending with the Ministry of railways for providing connectivity from Secunderabad to Medchal and other areas.
