FATHENAGAR FLYOVER TO NOW HAVE FOUR LANES
The Fathenagar flyover will be widened to four lanes from the current two, said minister Talasani Srinivas Rao, during an inspection here on Friday.
He led a team comprising mayor Bonthu Rammohan, municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) principal secretary Arvind Kumar and GHMC commissioner Lokesh Kumar on an extensive tour of the Sanathnagar Assembly constituency.
