"We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.
If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows
that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. "

Recently TimesOfIndia Reported that the Telugu Talli flyover at tankbund may take eons to complete, leaving traffic from Secretariat to Liberty Cross Roads in chaos, but for the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority the half-complete half-hanging flyover has become a major money-spinner.
The HUDA has been renting out the semi-complete flyover for film shoots. And collects a whopping Rs 10,000 for a six-hour shoot.
According to sources, the HUDA charges Rs 10,000 for six hours from film production units for using the incomplete flyover, the fate of which has been hanging in balance for the last four years. The agency had charged similar amounts to a film unit which used the under-construction flyover bridge at Narayanaguda.
The foundation stone for the Telugu Talli flyover, which was caught in administrative wrangles, was laid in 1997 and authorities took two years to complete one side of the bridge till the Ambedkar statue. As per the original plan, the flyover was supposed to land on the Upper Tankbund Road, but chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu directed officials to land the flyover on the Lower Tankbund Road.
The sudden change of course caught the officials by surprise, who lately realised that the Ambedkar statue had to be shifted, if they have lay the flyover on the Lower Tankbund route. So, the HUDA ordered reallignment of the structure, which took almost a year.
And, when HUDA officials began working on the flyover, the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board woke up to the fact that right beneath the proposed flyover, a huge pipeline was passing through.
The Board collected Rs 1.25 crore from HUDA to shift the pipeline six months later. Now, HUDA officials claim that the work on the flyover on the Lower Tankbund Road was going on at a brisk pace.
But no progress reported till now. Do you propose any solution to complete this flyover?
