HYDERABAD: A public interest litigation petition was filed in the AP high court urging it to direct the authorities not to construct metro rail infrastructure in areas where heritage structures are located.The petition was filed by OM Debora and V K Bhava of Forum for Good Governance expressing apprehensions about the future of heritage structures and important monuments in areas around Charminar, Assembly, Moazzam Jahi market etc. if the authorities are allowed to have their way in the metro rail project.They did not think about these structures while visualising a metro rail for the city, the petitioners said. They wanted a direction to the authorities to take the metro rail through underground in such areas as was done in Bangalore and Delhi.The petitioners mentioned in their plea that there are 14 important historical structures in the Miyapur- LB Nagar, Jubilee bus station to Falaknuma and Nagole to Silparamam routes of metro rail and said these structures are likely to be damaged if the metro rail is allowed to pass by them.The high court is likely to take up the plea on Monday for hearing. |
