Metro rail project cost estimate stands at Rs 16,375 crore
Hyderabad Metro Rail works picking up pace, VB Gadgil, CEO & MD of L&T Metro Rail Hyderabad Ltd, on Tuesday allayed fears of increased traffic problems.
In a freewheeling chat with reporters, he asserted that steps would be taken to ensure that inconvenience caused to the public, as a result of the works, would be minimal.
“We have submitted a report on traffic in the city to the State govt and the traffic police.
L&T metro has clear plans for traffic management including measures like curtailing of lanes, allowing one-way traffic and also, communication of construction work at different places in advance to the public,” he explained.
Ashish Nehra brings to the popping-crease most of the virtues of a classical left-arm fast bowler - pace, accuracy, subtle variations of line and length, an ability to move the ball off the wicket and a devastating late inswinger that can harass the best. He came out of his first full tour - to Zimbabwe in 2000-01 - with his reputation as one of the most promising new-ball bowlers on the international circuit vastly enhanced, and his performance at Bulawayo played a key role in India's winning a Test outside the subcontinent for the first time in 15 years. He struggled to establish himself thereafter, as inconsistency and injuries saw him slip down the pace bowling list. The high point of that difficult period came in the 2003 World Cup against England, where he scalped 6-23 and then threw up by the side of the pitch.
