Hyderabad, the fifth
largest city in India in terms of area and population has a unique reputation in
India as a progressive and modern city. Hyderabad metro rail is a feather in
the cap for the historic city, which is also renowned as a hub of services
sector and industrial development.
Our Hyderabad metro
rail, stretching for nearly 72 km in first phase, is considered a panacea for
the public transport challenge in the region with its modern metro coaches that
can carry thousands of passengers every hour across different directions. It is
the responsibility of every citizen to preserve the property of Metro rail and
maintain the sanctity of the pillars, viaducts and other infrastructure which
is exposed to public across the length and breadth of the corridors.
Affixing pamphlets,
posters and sticking bills on pillars is an offence and grossly violates the
exclusivity of the Metro rail project. With an unsightly appearance, the
defaced pillars are not in tune with the image of Hyderabad and that of the
world-class Metro rail project. It not only results in a poor image for the
city but also becomes an eyesore, if such practices are unchecked and
encouraged.
Therefore it is
everyone’s responsibility to uphold the prestige, and values of Brand Metro
Rail and cultivate a sense of self restraint, by avoiding any damage or placing
hoardings on the Metro. The practice of affixing posters is equivalent to
vandalizing the property of Metro. Hyderabad Metro Rail is not only a PPP
project but also a promise of hope and an
assurance of a better tomorrow for the denizens of Hyderabad, for
decades to come. Hence, it is important to preserve the property for the posterity
and ensure the pillars remain free of publicity materials and adopt a serious
stick-no-bills policy.
