Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy today visited various sites as they are getting readied for the Conference of Parties-11, Global Biodiversity Conference to be held in Hyderabad next month.

More than 5,000 delegates, including some heads of State are likely to participate.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to inaugurate the mega convention to be held during October 1-19.

Focus areas

One of the focus areas has been to provide alternative route now being developed by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation at Hyderabad International Convention Centre, the venue for CoP-11.

This is being taken up to avoid traffic bottlenecks both for the delegates and the huge IT staff that converges in the Hitec City and Gachibowli area for their daily work.

The JNTU College of Fine Arts, Masab Tank is preparing art works using scrap coinciding with the mega event.

Most of the city roads are being re-carpeted, flyovers spruced up and gardens and public places decked up.
