Imliban Park to be developed

HYDERABAD: The municipal corporation has plans to develop the Imliban Park, which is situated on the Musi river bed in the old city, mayor Mohd Majid Hussain has said. He said that in response to a suggestion made by Alam Mehdi of National Union of Journalists that the GHMC could use the land at Imliban Park to build an auditorium as the old city had no auditorium. “The Salarjung Museum Auditorium and the Indira Priyadarshani Hall at the Public Gardens are expensive for conduct of events on a large scale,” the journalist said. The mayor assured him that the corporation would find a suitable location for building the auditorium. The mayor responded positively to a request from the association for construction of apartments for journalists hailing from a poor economic background. “We request the GHMC to provide us lands to construct apartments under urban housing scheme,’’ said Uppala Lakhsman, member of the Press Council of India. The mayor assured to look into the request and take an appropriate action
