The government has said that the project will be taken up as soon as land is acquired. MRDCL has also been directed to hire a PMC (Project Management Consultant) through open tender who will be responsible for monitoring and quality control of the project.
The design of Mir Alam Tank Bridge in Hyderabad will be reviewed. The design and structural drawings submitted by the EPC contractor must be approved by the PMC agency, then they will be reviewed by a reputed institute like IIT Hyderabad, NIT Warangal, or JNTU Hyderabad.
The Managing Director of MRDCL has been directed to take further necessary steps regarding the project.
