Bright colourful flowers and lush greenery are not restricted to city parks, even national highways running through Telangana are lined up with them to acquire a green and aesthetic hue. As part of an initiative taken up by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), the look of highways is changing fast, with greenery enhancing the aesthetics and, at the same time contributing to the state’s green cover.
These works on the 64 km long Warangal Highway (NH-163) that cost INR 15.04 crore, and for the 33 km Nanded Highway with a budget of INR 3.57 crore, have redefined the driving experience along the highways.
The 8 km central median along Srisailam Highway (NH-765), the 25 km central median greenery along Kurnool Highway (NH-44), and 39 km along Rajiv Road State Highway (SH-1) are some other stretches being greened.
