Over 125 km stretch of main roads from Shamshabad airport to Madhapur have been identified for improvement and beautification along with some important hotels and tourist places in and around Hyderabad in connection with the international bio-diversity conference being held here in October.

Action has already been initiated for re-carpeting 22 roads, leading to various important hotels and historical sites from the two venues of the conference at Madhapur. Professional sculptors from across the country will converge here to make stone statues and give shape to boulders with assistance from Jawaharlal Nehru College of Fine Arts & Architecture.

The finished works will be installed at various traffic islands and waysides.

According to a press note issued by the CMO, fountains in major parks and on roadsides will be renovated.

Consultants have been engaged for preparation of an action plan for landscape designing in central areas and traffic islands and parks.
