Press Release Body: Greater Hyderabad, which has become the second largest
metropolitan area in India, will be developed as a world-class city and a model
metropolis in the country

said Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Sunday.He asked officials
of the newly constituted Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA)
toensure a scientific and regulated development in the metropolitan region.Last year
12 municipalities and several villages of the five surrounding districts were merged
with Hyderabad to make it Greater Hyderabad. HMDA was formally constituted Saturday
replacing Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (HUDA).The chief minister Sunday
launched HMDA and laid foundation stone for the central office of the new body,
which will have jurisdiction over an area of 6,856 square km, making it the second
largest metropolitan area in the country after Delhi.The jurisdiction of the earlier
body was 2,000 square km. The population coverage has also

increased from 6.5 million to 7.8 million.The government issued orders posting
Indian Administrative Service officer K.S. Jawahar Reddy as the metropolitan
commissioner.The jurisdiction of HMDA covers 54 'mandals\' (administrative blocks) in
the five districts. It includes 16 'mandals\' of Hyderabad, 10 of Medak, 22 of
Rangareddy, two of Mahbubnagar and four of Nalgonda districts. As many as 849
villages of four districts were merged with Hyderabad.As the city is growing by
leaps and bounds thanks to the IT boom of last one decade and consequent economic
activity, the government felt the need to merge the surrounding municipalities with
the capital region to ensure planned development and provide better infrastructure.

The new international airport at Shamshabad, about 30 km from the city, the ongoing
world-class 160-km Outer Ring Road (ORR) project, mega townships along the ORR, over
30 IT Special Economic Zones (SEZs), major real estate projects, new campuses of IT
and biotechnology majors, metro rail and other infrastructure projects areexpected
to give further impetus to the growth.The chief minister asked officials to ensure
that there was no deviation from the approved plans for any construction activity.
He assured that the government would take all steps to provide better road
connectivity, 24-hours water and electricity supply and other infrastructure to all
the areas fallingunder metropolitan region.The missions of HMDA include promoting
active participation of citizens in the process of planning and implementation of
development plans, improve quality of life through planned growth and development
and contribute to the creation of a cleaner and greener city.\".........
