KCR directs HMRL to complete two corridors
Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday directed the HMRL and L&TMRHL to complete two stretches Miyapur- Ameerpet (13 km) and Ameerpet to Nagole (17 km), so that passenger services can be operated for a distance of 30 km from Miyapur to Nagole.
Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao on Monday directed the HMRL and L&TMRHL to complete two stretches Miyapur- Ameerpet (13 km) and Ameerpet to Nagole (17 km), so that passenger services can be operated for a distance of 30 km from Miyapur to Nagole.
The Chief Minister directed Municipal Administration Minister K T Rama Rao to closely monitor the progress of works.
HMR Managing Director N V S Reddy inspected Ameerpet interchange station on Sunday. The Ameerpet interchange station is a special station connecting corridor-I (Miyapur-LB Nagar) and corridor III (Nagole-Raidurg). Spread over 2 lakh sft, this is one of the biggest Metro stations in India with several special features. Corridor III is at a lower level and corridor I goes over it at a higher level.
This station is built in a unique way combining both the corridors at 3 levels, and each level is again split into two, as one corridor has to pass over the other. The concourse floor would have all the technical rooms, automatic fare collection gates, ticketing rooms, etc.
The main area of the entire station is being done up in a magnificent way with jaguar brown granite flooring. The integrated station on both sides has 16 lifts, 12 escalators and 12 staircases.
NVS Reddy directed L&TMRHL engineers to see that all the facilities are seamlessly integrated in a passenger friendly manner and that the passengers can transit from one corridor to the other in a smooth way with wider staircases and more skyways from the platform on corridor III to that of corridor I and vice versa.
He also advised them that special care should be taken to install easy signage and special announcement facilities for even illiterate passengers and those with physical disabilities to understand and change over from one platform to the other.
He instructed them to keep wider passenger congregation areas as 30,000 passengers would use the station every day and that the open spaces, lifts, escalators, staircases, etc should be able to accommodate a minimum of 6,000 passengers at any point of time comfortably.
