LuLu Mall Hyderabad Traffic Chaos: How to Avoid It

LuLu Mall Hyderabad Traffic Chaos: The newly opened LuLu Mall in Hyderabad has become a major attraction, drawing massive crowds, particularly on weekends. This has led to severe traffic congestion in the surrounding areas, causing hours of delays for commuters.

The traffic chaos is particularly evident on the stretch leading to the mall, where vehicles are often bumper-to-bumper. The mall itself is also packed with shoppers, resulting in long queues at checkout counters and escalators that have stopped working due to overload.

On Sunday, the traffic gridlock persisted well into the evening, making it a nightmare for those traveling between Miyapur and Ameerpet. The traffic woes extended to Balanagar, Kukatpally, JNTU, and Miyapur, with even short journeys taking nearly an hour.

The mall’s popularity is a testament to the city’s growing demand for retail and entertainment options. However, the traffic chaos is a major concern, and authorities need to take steps to address it. This could include increasing public transportation options in the area, developing dedicated parking facilities, and implementing traffic management measures.

In addition to the above, here are some other possible measures that could be taken to reduce traffic congestion around LuLu Mall:

  • Rerouting traffic away from the mall during peak hours
  • Imposing stricter parking restrictions in the area
  • Working with the mall management to develop a traffic management plan
  • Educating motorists about alternate routes and public transportation options

By taking these steps, authorities can help to ensure that LuLu Mall can continue to thrive without causing undue disruption to the city’s transportation system.

India’s first solar roof cycling track opens in Hyderabad

India’s first solar roof cycling track opens in Hyderabad

Hyderabad has taken a significant step towards an environmentally sustainable future in urban transportation with the inauguration of the country’s first solar roof cycling track. The track, named Healthway, is located on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) between the main carriageway and service road, and is open 24/7.

The track is a three-lane path that is 4.5 meters wide, with one meter of green space on either side. It has two stretches: a pink line of 8.5 km from Nanakramguda to Telangana State Police Academy, and a blue line of 14.5 km from Kollur to Narsingi. The two stretches converge at Narsingi Junction with five different access points.

The track is covered by solar roof panels, which will generate 16 megawatts (MW) of power. This power will be used to light up the track at night and may also be used to fulfill some other power requirements of the ORR.

The track is expected to become a prime hangout with facilities like ample parking space, surveillance cameras, food courts, drinking water, first aid, restrooms, bicycle repair shops, cycle docking and rental stations, and other services.

Speaking at the inauguration of the track, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) Minister KT Rama Rao said that the track is a viable and self-sustaining project. He also revealed plans to set up similar tracks around the Gandipet Lake, and in Financial District and Neopolis areas.

“The main goal here is to get our kids enthused about cycling and mobility so that they do not have any lifestyle-related illness in the future,” he said.

The solar roof panels will protect cyclists from the sun, rain, and other weather conditions, and will also isolate them from main traffic on the roads, enhancing safety.

The idea of building this track came when the MA&UD Minister spotted a tweet by noted environmentalist Erik Solheim that showcased the cycling track in South Korea between Daejeon and Sejong.

The inauguration of India’s first solar roof cycling track is a significant milestone in the country’s journey towards sustainable urban transportation. The track is expected to encourage more people to cycle, which will have a positive impact on air quality and public health. It is also a valuable example of how solar energy can be used to power innovative infrastructure projects.

Telangana High Court Confirms Order to Reconduct Group I

Telangana High Court Confirms Order to Reconduct Group I Examination

The Telangana High Court division bench of Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili and Justice J Anil Kumar on Wednesday confirmed the single judge order that directed the reconducting of the Group I examination.

The State had moved an appeal against the order stating that lakhs of aspirants would be put to a disadvantage for the baseless apprehensions of a few petitioners. The State said that not implementing biometrics does not establish any chance of impersonation or malpractices. The State also said that even the OMR sheets had a barcode to properly verify the credentials of the candidates.

However, hearing the rival submissions made by both parties, the court came to the conclusion that when the notification and web note prescribed a process and procedure, the same could not be violated. Accordingly, the bench dismissed the appeal filed by the State government.
