As of now, the Hyderabad Metro Rail has three lines – green, red and blue (Secunderabad to HITEC City). Moreover, about 1100 properties are getting affected due to road widening for metro alignment, according to the authorities.
About 103 religious, heritage and other sensitive structures on the new routes are all being saved through appropriate engineering solutions and adjustment of metro pillar locations, stated HMR managing director NVS Reddy.
