Hyderabad: In a huge respite to lakhs of commuters who face difficulties while traversing through restricted roads in military areas, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation ( GHMC ) has decided to float tenders for constructing alternative roads connecting Wellington Road near Army Ordnance Corps (AOC) area and RK Puram flyover.

"The planned construction includes a four-lane road spanning over 6 km, requiring around 42 acres of land. The military authorities in the region committed to transferring the land parcel within a month, while we are identifying suitable alternative land for compensation purposes," a GHMC engineering wing official told TOI. A meeting was held at GHMC headquarters on Saturday with civic chief RV Karnan and defence authorities, led by director, Land Legal, Brigadier SK Chetty, to discuss the transfer of 42.20 acres of defence land at the AOC Centre.
