Information about the Charminar Pedestrianisation Project
Q: Hi friends, I heard that finally the Charminar Pedestrianisation Project to protect the monument and the surrounding area has begun? And that they are putting up uniform signs all over.. Is it true?
Previously the delay was due to the Governments decision to make all the signs in Telugu language. And this created some tension there between the shopkeepers and the authorities, The shop keepers there werent happy with the decision to not allow vehicles near the site too! But I think now the decision has been reconsidered.
Yeah this project was stalled for some time now and thank god it has picked up some pace now! I think around 90 lakhs have been sanctioned only to this uniform signage project, that too in 2013. The local political leader, Akbaruddin Owaisi is taking pretty keen interest in this project
oh yes, this project had soo many things going wrong over the past one year! The shopkeeps werent ready to co-operate as they though that the signs would not be visible to the public! Charminar is a very popular shopping area and every bussiness guy there tries to get public attention by putting up huge flashy sign boards..
Hii, yes. It is true. The Charminar Pedestrainisation project has finally started and it focuses on protecting and safe guarding this historical monument. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corp has slowly started talking to the shopkeepers around the monument to install uniform signage. this uniform signage apparently takes care to keep all the signs and hoardings in a uniform manner, like, in the same size and to discard the old signs.
Yeah, GHMC officialls have recently said that they have cooperation from the local political leaders and representatives for this projects too. and that they have agreed to help convince the shopkeepers around the Madina- Charminar area. Around 30 uniform signs have already been put. :)
