Lessons for Hyderabad from Bengaluru: Official makes list, people react

Hyderabad: Telangana Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) chief secretary Arvind Kumar on Thursday, September 28, made a list of ‘learnings’ for Hyderabad from Karnataka’s capital city, Bengaluru.

Responding to a post on X from a man @kumarsamit slamming Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah and the Bengaluru traffic police for ‘worst ever traffic day’ on September 27, Wednesday, for commuters on the ORR-Bellandur-Marathalli-Whitefield-Mahadevapura belt, Arvind Kumar cited ‘learnings’ for Hyderabad from its trouble.

“Learnings for #Hyderabad

1. More roads ( parallel & easy alternatives ) – missing link roads, SRDP – at it

2. Effective storm water drainage -take care~10 cms of rains

3. Decongest & create greenfield workstations away from downtown- Budvel & Neopolis

4. Staggered office timings

5. Increase Public transport – metro/ light rail/ buses – making it easy & comfortable as a preferred option over Pvt vehicles 6. Minimise parking on main roads ( that eats up crucial motorable lane),” his post read.

Effective storm water drainage? Really? Even a small rain would flood our roads in most of the areas including the fancy IT corridor roads?
