Srinagar Colony main road has been declared a commercial road by GHMC, paving the way for property owners to be able to either construct or rent their existing buildings for commercial use. This declaration by GHMC will allow shopping complexes, hotels, hospitals, retail shopping activities, service establishments, function halls and petro filling stations on the Srinagar Colony main road.
The decision to declare the stretch as a commercial road was taken by the MA&UD department on the request of Srinagar Colony residents, who had represented to the government a couple of years ago. This will also increase the property tax income to GHMC as well as would burden property owneds with higher taxes on properties on this stretch.
A GO (MS No. 51) was issued by the municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD) department on Monday declaring the 1.42 km road from Satya Sai Nigamagamam to Punjagutta road as 'Category B' commercial road. The GO said the existing width of the road is only 18 metres and, as per the master plan, the entire stretch should be made 24 meters in the near future.
The buses run by APSRTC connect Srinagar colony to all parts of the city. There is also a mini-bus service called as Setwin service. The closest MMTS Train station is at Begumpet.
