This is what happens when a government doesn’t listen to its citizens and chooses to go its own way.
📰 As per @thhyderabad@SVadlamoodi report, the Telangana government is considering reducing H-CITI’s proposed 14 flyovers and underpasses to just ONE elevated corridor.
But why stop at one?
Why not shelve the entire flyover project around KBR National Park?
Hyderabadis have reached this stage after:
🔴 Multiple peaceful street protests 🔴 Police detentions 🔴 High Court proceedings 🔴 Supreme Court proceedings 🔴 Repeated appeals for scientific alternatives
And what has Hyderabad lost in the process?
🌳 Thousands of age-old trees in KBR’s Eco-Sensitive Zone.
The one-way traffic system around KBR has now shown what citizens have been saying for years:
Simple, practical traffic solutions were possible all along.
So why was a disastrous project involving thousands of crores of taxpayers’ money pushed around Hyderabad’s last green lung—putting KBR’s existence at risk in the name of solving traffic woes?
@TelanganaCMO@revanth_anumula@GHMCOnline@CommissionrGHMC must answer:
Why flyovers were approved in KBR's eco-sensitive zone❓
Where are the mandatory DPR, EIA, Environmental & Social Impact Assessment, inter-generational impact study, traffic impact studies and cost-benefit analysis❓
Were these studies placed in the public domain before execution❓
Which experts, climate scientists and urban mobility professionals were consulted❓
Why did the so called Tree Protection Committee approve the axing of thousands of trees in KBR’s ESZ without a detailed and transparent public study❓
This is not merely about reducing 14 structures to 1.
It is about accountability, scientific decision-making and the future of Hyderabad.
Citizens are ready to suggest better alternatives.
Will the government finally listen?

@RobinZaccheus@RGIAHyd@TelanganaCMO As per our govt. we need only more flyovers, dont know whose pockets to fill for several vanity projects. Do we even have funds ?
@rose_k01 Thanks Raghuram rajan for being such an inspiration to our citizens. You have to lead by eggzample by stuffing more chips right up your..... so that many can learn
One-way traffic around KBR has proved what Hyderabadis have been saying for the past 10 years: when scientific and practical solutions exist to ease traffic congestion, why spend thousands of crores of taxpayers' money on disastrous and unscientific flyovers around KBR National Park—ultimately choking the park in the process?
The H-CITI flyovers around KBR increasingly appear to be a case of forced, unscientific development at the cost of ecological destruction.
@TelanganaCMO@revanth_anumula seriously need to reflect on these decisions and consult the right kind of experts.
We, as citizens, are ready to suggest and discuss better alternatives to flyovers around KBR with the government—if given an opportunity. (1/2)

@jpsin1 We are talking about converting people, What about conversion of our Temples our heritage?
Not far from Andhra's capital Amaravathi is the major city Guntur . This place is 18 Km from it.
How long will we tolerate this appeasement
@ASD24X7@RahulGandhi@MNatarajanINC
Please show one good thing your government in Telangana is doing?
Looting peoples properties in the name of 22A
Illegally snatching properties in the name of flyovers,
Horrible roads, are you thugs? rein your CM
Thank you for consistently speaking up for the environment, @RahulGandhi.
Can you also ask the @INCIndia governments in Telangana and Karnataka to walk the talk. Destroying mature trees/ national parks for road projects isn’t sustainable or necessary.
@erbmjha What about KBR park's eco system his government is planning to destroy by constructing 7 flyover and 7 underpasses. No EIA, No SIA , no planning , no respect for courts.
@RahulGandhi walk the talk if you care about environment
@CitizensForHyd
@BS_Prasad@INCIndia@RahulGandhi Do you think he has any Shame left, In telugu there is a saying "Dunnapothu meda Varsham padinattu", Meaning a Bull Buffalo doesn't care even if it rains " If he had any shame he should remember he was born to an Italian. (sic)
@Chanakya_View Why the comparision? if i question why didn't you think of the Electric Bulb first.
You could have come up with that idea patented it before china did.
