HYDERABAD AND CYBERABAD TWIN CITIES:

·         TRAFFIC DRILL TODAY FOR GLOBAL MEET: - With little more than a couple of days left before the start of CoP-11, Cyberabad police have decided to conduct a drill for the proposed traffic restrictions for the event which is to run for 19 days by imposing traffic curbs on Friday. As part of the traffic rehearsal for the event which is to be held at HICC, the 100-feet road from Ayyappa Society and the road from mini-Charminar to the NAC gate would be exclusively reserved for CoP-11 delegates. "This exercise is being done to understand ramifications that might arise due to diversion. On Friday, between 7.30am and 10.30am and again between 6pm to 8pm, public who intend to go towards Cyber Towers and Hi-Tec Railway Station through the 100-feet road would be diverted at Kavuri Hills junction towards Madhapur PS Road and Cyber Towers. Further, the traffic moving from Cyber Towers and heading towards Jubilee Hills checkpost through the 100-feet road and towards Road No.45, Jubilee Hills would be diverted at Cyber Towers towards Kavuri Hills via Madhapur PS road.

·         SECTION 144 IMPOSED AT SECRETARIAT: - The city police on Thursday imposed Section 144 at the Secretariat premises till November 18 following an alert issued by the intelligence department that Telangana activists may attack the Secretariat during the Telangana march on September 30. A public notice to this effect has been displayed in front of C-Block, in which the CM’s Office is located. The Secretariat will be shut down for two days completely on September 29 and 30 as a precautionary measure. The Ganesh immersion will take place on September 29 followed by the march the next day. Since both these events will be held at Tank Bund in front of the Secretariat, and involve large crowds, the police has decided to lock the Secretariat gates to prevent any incident.

·         SCR TO RUN EIGHT MMTS SPL TRAINS FOR GANESH NIMAJJANAM: - South Central Railway (SCR) will run eight special MMTS trains between various destinations in Hyderabad/Secunderabad between 2200 hrs of September 29 and 0400 hrs of September 30 to clear extra rush of passengers during Ganesh Nimajjanam.

            TRAFFIC DIVERSIONS: - Please find the attachment on Traffic diversions in Hyderabad and Cyberabad City Limits for Final Ganesh Immersion on 29.09.2012.

·         POWER FOR COP TO LEAVE REST OF CITY IN DARKNESS: - Citizens residing in areas of the city other than in the vicinity of the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC) would likely face longer power cuts during the duration of the CoP-11 global meet with the state government preparing to supply uninterrupted electricity to the host venue and its surrounding localities. In Greater Hyderabad, the Central Power Distribution Company Ltd (CPDCL) has been resorting to three-hourly load relief in two spells (one-and-half hours each) for the past couple of months. Except in the core city (former MCH area), power outages run for over five hours in the surrounding municipal circles. The situation is worse in rural areas. Now, officials at CPDCL have said that since no power cuts would be imposed in the HICC area and other important locations like star hotels, the load relief had to be passed on to other parts of the city.
