The Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation has ordered faster action on long-pending road, drainage, junction and graveyard works after Commissioner T Vinay Krishna Reddy inspected civic infrastructure bottlenecks at several locations in the Hyderabad area on Tuesday.
Reddy inspected works and problem points at ECIL Junction, Sony Center, Radhika Junction, Pochamma Junction and Chinna Cherlapally Graveyard, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle. The inspection covered junction improvements, drainage infrastructure and road widening, all of which require coordination between civic authorities and other departments.
The commissioner directed officials to expedite land acquisition for junction development. The instruction is significant for projects where road expansion or redesign depends on securing additional land before civil works can proceed. The report did not specify the land parcels involved, the area required or the timelines fixed for acquisition.
Reddy also asked officials to prioritise road widening and box drain construction. He directed the concerned departments to coordinate the shifting of utilities so that underground or roadside services do not hold up the pending works. The report did not identify the utilities involved or provide details of the agencies responsible for their relocation.
The focus on box drains points to drainage capacity as one of the civic issues being addressed alongside transport bottlenecks. At the junctions inspected by the commissioner, road improvements and drainage works are being treated as linked requirements rather than as separate projects. No cost estimates, construction schedules or completion deadlines were provided in the report.
The inspection also included Chinna Cherlapally Graveyard, where the commissioner asked officials to conduct a joint inspection to facilitate development. The report did not specify the nature or scope of the proposed graveyard development, the departments involved or whether any land or design approvals remain pending.
The directions place responsibility on officials to move stalled works through inter-departmental coordination, land acquisition and utility shifting. These administrative steps are expected to precede or support physical improvements at the identified junctions and other civic sites. The Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation has not, in the supplied report, announced a consolidated implementation schedule or a public deadline for completing the works.
The next reported step is for officials to undertake the joint inspection at Chinna Cherlapally Graveyard and coordinate with the relevant departments on utility shifting, road widening, box drain construction and junction development.
