- Must impose restrictions to reduce noise, air and dust pollution
- Issue needs immediate attention of municipal officials
Hyderabad does not have the geographical barriers unlike cities of Mumbai and Chennai. Hence, the city has full scope to expand in all four directions. Metro Rail, MMTS and sub-urban trains have made it possible to travel easily from one area to another. As we do not have shortage of space, experts opine that Hyderabad does not need too many skyscrapers which are normally encouraged in cities with land constraints. However, the developers in Hyderabad are constructing multi-storied buildings and skyscrapers in populated areas within the city.
Wherever there is enough space, they are building more apartments increasing the population density and causing trouble to the local people. As a result, the people living in the locality are facing dire situations, with increased burden on the local infrastructure. Due to unabated construction work, even the IT employees who are working from home, are facing serious problems. It is imperative for the government to act a bit tougher against this construction activity.
While granting permission for apartments in residential areas, local bodies should clearly mention the working hours to the developers in advance. They must be allowed to work only during the day and explain all the guidelines for the same especially not to cause any inconvenience to the people living in the vicinity.
