ro Hyderabad Metro Rail additional managing director Ajit Reddy on Monday directed officials to prepare station-specific development plans for 10 metro stations as a pilot initiative aimed at enhancing passenger amenities. During an inspection, Mr. Reddy reviewed sanitation and cleanliness around several metro stations and said maintenance of the central medians beneath the metro viaducts requires considerable improvement and instructed officials not to compromise on cleanliness standards.
He travelled by metro from Begumpet to Raidurg, inspecting platforms and concourses at various stations, including the busy Ameerpet interchange station, to assess passenger facilities and operational arrangements. Reviewing amenities and infrastructure, he emphasised the need for better utilisation of parking spaces at street level and called for more systematic parking management, particularly during peak hours.

Stressing the importance of passenger convenience and safety, Mr. Reddy said providing commuters with a comfortable, safe and seamless travel experience should remain the organisation’s top priority.

Shyam Mohan, general manager (Security) Srinath Reddy and other officials accompanied him during the inspection, informed a press release.
