Metropolitan Chaos

Also known as The City of Nizams, Hyderabad is today one of the most developed cities in India and a modern hub of information technology, ITES, and biotechnology. Hyderabad has an estimated metropolitan population of 6.1 million, making it an A-1 status city and India's sixth-largest metropolitan area.

The development of a township with state-of-the-art facilities called HITEC City prompted several IT and ITES companies to set up operations in the city. An aggressive promotion of growth in this area has led civic boosters to call the city "Cyberabad". Hyderabad is home to some of the best Fortune 500 Corporations. Microsoft has its development centre in Hyderabad which is its largest Product Development Centre outside the headquarters in Redmond, USA.


But what are the civic amenities providers doing. Whenever there is even a slight downpour, the city is completely flooded as if there were some flash floods. This is not going to help the cause of Hyderabad, trying to gain the tag of technological hub of India. If this is going to be the condition when an International summit is held, then it is going to send wrong signals to the so called big investors, who are really very important in the growth of any market.





The drinage system can be rated as one of the worse among some other metropolitans. The traffic system isn't that great either with a lot of traffic jams in place every now and then.Hope the concerned authorities wake up as early as possible and see it to that these situations don't repeat again in future.
