Hyderabad, April 28 (INN): Large scale demolitions are going on in Metro Rail corridors in different parts of the city to speed up the Metro Rail project works.

Acquisition of some of these properties like Nandini cafe/ Gowtham Reddy property at Jubilee Hills Checkpost which is required for construction of Metro Rail viaduct in a sharp curve was held up for the last 4 years due to extraneous factors and prolonged litigation. MD, HMR further informed CS that demolition of Jabbar building, Chintawar building and SBH building on Begumpet road are nearing completion.
