The Madhapur IT hub will soon be a favourite of avid movie buffs too thanks to a multiplex coming up at the Inorbit mall on the Hi-Tec City-Durgam Cheruvu stretchshortly.The multiplex will have six screens with a crowd capacity of about 1,000. In the final stage of obtaining permission,however,the multiplex is evoking mixed reactions from the employees and the residents of the area.
While one of the major concerns of the employees seem to be traffic problem and security related issues,the rest are only too happy to have a major recreation centre in their backyard.Expressing concern that the opening of multiplex will only worsen the traffic situation,V Srinivas Prasad,secretary,Cyberabad Security Council,said As of now,the crowd turn out at the mall is limited and mostly on the weekends.But with multiplex in place,traffic may go for toss in the area.Since there were instances of traffic jams on this stretch earlier,we had asked for a traffic police outpost.
According to him,the huge crowds at the mulitiplex may pose challenge to the security in the area as it would be impossible to screen or frisk all those entering the zone.The council,which looks after the security requirements of 91 corporate companies,including the IT biggies,was instrumental in setting up five check points and 17 interconnected surveillance cameras in the area and is planning to have five more check points and about 25 more surveillance cameras in the coming few months.
However,those residing in the nearby area are more than happy with the venture.Until now,we have no other option but to travel long distances to watch a movie.This multiplex will only increase the importance of the area and makes it more preferable for residing said B Rohit,a software professional and a resident of Madhapur.
