Construction Of Flyovers: A Late But Good Move

[Note: This Short Article was Originally Published at Pro Pakistan. ]

Nowadays in Hyderabad the construction of flyovers is on the rise, currently four are under construction and one was completed last year which is now widely used by the people of Hyderabad. It’s a late but good move, because the traffic of Hyderabad is increasing day by day and traffic jams are now becoming a common happening in Hyderabad.

I have personally noticed two things which in my view should not happen. The first thing is that the government should complete one flyover first and then start the construction for the next flyover. There are two roads from Hyderabad main city which are going to Qasimabad and on both roads the construction of flyovers is in progress, due to which people have to face a lot of problem and most of the times people like me cancel their works which are to be done in Qasimabad just to ignore the pollution and traffic jam present at the sites of construction. Government must have completed one before starting second just to give the people a reciprocal route to carry on their works. I am not saying that the route is not available, route is available but it’s much polluted because of construction going on and it is broken from sides and some where from middle also, which troubles us a lot. The second thing is that the workers of political parties both national and regional have chalked the newly constructed flyovers, which is really a bad thing, because it not only ruins the charm and glory of our city but it leaves a feeling that we have got second hand or used flyovers.

I request the government to think on the idea of leaving a reciprocal route which must not be polluted or broken and I also request the educated workers of various parties that not to chalk the walls and flyovers as it hurts the beauty of our beloved city Hyderabad.
