HMRL has not shown interest in maintaining pavements when it comes to the Metro line between JBS and MGBS
Civic authorities feel Metro authorities cannot shirk responsibility just because maintenance of footpaths near stations along one of the three corridors is not profitable for them.
HYDERABAD: Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) have got into a tussle over pavements near Metro Rail stations.
While HMRL is maintaining pavements at Metro stations along two corridors from Nagole to Miyapur and LB Nagar to Raidurg, it has not shown similar interest when it comes to the Metro line between JBS and MGBS. Corporation officials have taken the stand that there must be a uniform policy and HMRL cannot ignore MGBS-JBS line.
