By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, April 11. A special drive will be launched to clear all nalas passing through the city before the onset of monsoon with the involvement of all MPs, MLAs and corporators.

The City-level Coordination Committee, which inspected the Musi course at Barkatpura, Nallakunta and Tilaknagar, on Thursday decided to clear the blockages in next two months. Encroachments on the banks of the nala course would also be removed. It was proposed to take up anti-larval operations simultaneously.

Committee members inspected the road-widening programme taken up under the Charminar pedestrianisation project. The Mayor, T. Krishna Reddy, and the MCH Commissioner, Chitra Ramchandran, were happy that road-widening on the ring road had been done with people’s consent.

Compensation of Rs. 7.70 crores had been paid to affected people whose properties were removed in road-widening.

High-mast lights will be installed at the ring road to give the place a new look,’’ Mr. Krishna Reddy noted. The members earlier visited the municipal playground at Amberpet. It was decided to develop a market and also stadium for which Rs. 2 crores had been sanctioned. A swimming pool would also be constructed.

Later, they visited Puranapul where a four-km road is being laid linking Bapughat to decongest traffic on Karwan road.
