Loading ...Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) will soon go for another massive land acquisition for developing hierarchical road network on either side of the Outer Ring Road (ORR).
The state government is likely to clear the growth corridor file by the end of this month. Huda officials said implementation of the growth corridor was a must to promote planned development and curb haphazard growth along the 162 km Outer Ring Road. Huda says land losers will be given alternate land and compensation as per the revenue and rehabilitation package.
It is estimated that over 80,000 acres of land falling under 113 villages will come under the growth corridor rules in Hyderabad. As per the rules, land owners have to take permissions before taking up any construction activity. “Areas in the core city were not developed properly,” a senior official of Huda said. “So, we don’t allow such haphazard development along ORR since it will defeat the purpose project. The special development regulations will come into force with fresh orders,” he added.
Huda officials sought public opinion on the issue in April-May 2007 and submitted a detailed report to the Municipal Administration department. The officials hope that there will not be much resentment among the land owners. Huda will seek final objections from the public once the government okays the proposal.
