Final decision on greenfield expressway route map

He directed the officials to take a final decision on the route map of the greenfield expressway proposed between Hyderabad and Machilipatnam port at the earliest. Steps should be initiated to secure necessary approvals from the Central Government pertaining to the elevated corridor proposed on the Hyderabad-Srisailam highway, part of which passes through the tiger reserve.

Mr. Reddy spoke to collectors of different districts through a video conference over the status of the highways in their respective jurisdiction. He wanted them to speed up land acquisition pending in some districts for taking up works.

In respect of lands locked in legal issues, the district collectors should hold consultations with senior officials to explore ways for their resolution.
