The chief minister said that the land of Metropole hotel was located in the center of four most important and busy roads where traffic volume remains considerably high almost round the clock. Construction of any high rise building on the land of the Metropole hotel would cause further congestion of the traffic in the area and would create serious environmental issues, he added. He said that he wanted to acquire the land of Metropole hotel where he would construct a beautiful park designated only for children and elderly people.
The construction of the park would be best for environment of the city which was getting more and more polluted day by day, he said and added onward all the projects would be developed, keeping in view the environmental conditions of the city, capacity of the roads and sewerage system and provision of all other facilities.
