Centre govt to hand over 3380 sq yards land for Mehdipatnam skywalk

The Union defence ministry on Wednesday, January 24, agreed to hand over 3,380 sq yards of land in the city to the Telangana government for the construction of the skywalk in Mehadipatnam.

The construction of the skywalk, which began in May 2022, faced hurdles due to this major issue of land transfer from the Union defence ministry.

The skywalk is



being built by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) with Rs. 32.97 crores. It will feature five hop-on stations stretching across 390 meters.

The project will feature five hop-on stations placed near prominent locations such as Rythu Bazar, the Defense compound wall, the Mehdipatnam bus bay area, the Asif Nagar police station, and the Gudimalkapur junction.
