HYDERABAD: Where does the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) dispose of the 200-odd truckloads of construction and demolishment (C&D) waste generated in the city each day? Sources say that the civic body does not dump it at designated landfills, but instead, hides it in plain sight, under infra projects and near water bodies. Burial of construction waste is not uncommon in the city.
Located adjacent to Waverock (special economic zone), the twin towers with 44 floors each are coming on 5.5 acre land.
HYDERABAD: Hyderabad’s skyline is all set to change with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) approving what will be the city’s tallest skyscraper thus far. Officials gave the nod to Sumadhura Group’s 44-storey residential apartment in the Financial District at Nanakramguda. The new structure will be 153 metres (501 feet) tall. Until now, the tallest building in the city had 42 floors.
Sources in GHMC told TOI that this is only the tip of the iceberg. Two applications by builders to construct 55-storey high-rises in Pupalaguda and Narsingi near the IT corridor were put on hold by Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) officials recently. Sources said the authorities want to be doubly sure that such tall structures don’t lead to more traffic chaos in the already congested part of the city.
Hyderabad: People can now get a little closer to the sky with this new towering structure rising as high as 44 floors in Hyderabad’s Nanakramguda. This
