Hyderabad: Telangana IT and Industries Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan have urged government departments to speed up the issuance of No Objection Certificates (NOCs) required for the Hyderabad Metro Rail Phase II project to avoid delays in implementation.

Ranjan emphasised the need for close coordination among various government departments and agencies involved in the ambitious metro expansion project. He called for timely clearances and faster resolution of pending issues so that construction and related works can progress according to schedule.
