RAILWAY CORRIDOR
The railway corridor is the strip of land which is about 20-25 meters wide, between the Inner Service Road and Main Carriage Way of the ORR. Multiple rows of Avenue plants were planted along the Railway Corridor to tend to and address the requirements to beautify and benefit the area. These empty lands now have dense covers of all four varieties of Fig available in Telangana — Medi (Ficus glomerata), Juvvi (Ficus racemosa), Banyan and Peepal, Yeru Maddi (Terminalia arjuna), Usiri, Neem, Gulmohar, Bignonia, Indian Rosewood (Sissoo), China Badam, Tropical Almond (Terminalia), Mahua, Spathodia, Tabebuia argentea, Holoptelea, and Simarouba trees. Some species, as their silvicultural characteristics attain crowns early, achieve a dense cover in a matter of months whereas other species may take at least a couple of years to attain crowns.
