Hyderabad: Municipal Administration Principal Secretary Arvind Kumar today said that the government is taking up multi level car parking complexes in a big way in Hyderabad under the public private partnership mode.

Presiding over a meeting of senior officers at the Metro Rail Bhavan today, Arvind Kumar asked the officers of different departments to come out with specific proposals about their requirements in the plots identified by them for multi level car parking complexes.
