Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on Friday asked the officials to expedite ongoing works of Outer Ring Road and bring into use the phase IIA stretch between Narsingi and Patancheru by March next. Kiran spent nearly two hours inspecting the project works and interacting with the HMDA officials who sought time till the end of April.

But the Chief Minister asked them to get the works completed by March. Starting his trip from Pedda Amberpet, the CM travelled upto Gachibowli end and en route stopped for a while to speak to the media. The government had not yet thought of collecting toll fee from the commuters using the ORR stretch. The Chief Minister was confident that the ORR will be ready by December 2012. Asked about changes made in alignments, he explained they were necessitated to protect water bodies and religious structures.
