The hyderabad Metro rail Limited (HMRL) has started a drone survey of the Metro rail alignment, impacted properties, etc., in the old city on the chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao's orders to expedite Metro rail preparatory operations in the old city. The narrow stretch of road between Dar-ul-shifa junction and Shalibanda junction needs to be widened in order to accommodate the construction of metro stations, according to HMRL Managing director NVS Reddy. In addition to conventional survey, drone survey has also begun.
A significant problem for the metro construction in this area is the protection of roughly 103 religious and other sensitive sites, including 21 masjids, 12 temples, 12 Ashoor Khanas, 33 dargas, seven graveyards, and 6 chillas, according to a press statement from Mr. reddy on Sunday.
Developing suitable engineering solutions to safeguard religious and other sensitive structures will be made easier with the aid of the drone survey. He noted that the metro line, pillar positions, etc., are being planned so as to have no negative impact on these sensitive sites, including places of worship. Drone surveys provide for speedy real-time data gathering, high-resolution imaging, 3D modelling, seamless GIS (Geographic Information System) data and CAD software integration, data analysis, and visualisation.
According to Mr. reddy, tenders are also being finalised in order to begin soil research in the next few days. The Falaknuma end, where the Falaknuma metro station is located, is where the soil research will begin. The 5.5 kilometre metro route in the old city will also contain four more stations, including Salarjung Museum, charminar (metro stations will be roughly 500 metres distant from these two sites), Shalibanda, and Falaknuma, in addition to MGBS, which is currently a station.
