Hyderabad: TRS MLAs, MLCs, corporators and party leaders are resisting the plan of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to develop link and slip roads to take the traffic pressure off arterial roads. The GHMC proposes to lay 131 such roads.
The move has irked several party leaders since most of the link roads pass through residential areas, eating up built area. Most of these lands were owned by politicians. The henchmen of political leaders in the name of the residents got into confrontations with the corporation at several locations and even threatened to stop the work immediately.
