Andhra Pradesh - Hyderabad

Vying with Singapore

So Bangalore and Chennai are no competition to Hyderabad. Its competition is only with Singapore. The statement coming from none other than the Chief Minister sure sounds reassuring though flattering.

True. Several international standard projects are either being executed or planned for in the city.

But Singapore is known for what it is because of its discipline, rule-minded citizens, strict enforcement and orderliness that marks its life.

What is the use of state-of-the-art projects if equal emphasis is not given to their proper usage and enforcement remains slack? Before comparing the city with Singapore, it's basic things like hygiene and traffic discipline that deserve urgent action and attention, felt quite a few citizens.
