Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu inspected the Bahadurpally–Kompally road widening project at Dulapally in Hyderabad on Monday, accompanied by Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) Commissioner G Srijana and officials from Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA), TGSPDCL, the forest department and other line departments. The inspection reviewed progress on preparatory works and utility shifting required prior to widening. The minister examined site readiness and existing alignments to ensure minimal disruption to traffic and services.

The key directions issued during the inspection included completion of shifting of electrical poles by August 15 with the subsequent road widening works to be completed by September 30. The minister also instructed fast tracking of land acquisition in Dulapally and Bahadurpally villages to secure the alignment required for carriageway expansion. Departments were asked to provide clear timelines and resource allocations to meet the prescribed dates.

Officials were directed to prepare and submit a storm water drain proposal to the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation for examination and necessary action, the review noting the importance of integrated drainage for longevity of the widened road. Coordination was emphasised between HMDA and local agencies to synchronise utility relocation, environmental clearances and construction schedules. The inspection identified sections needing immediate attention to prevent delays once civil works commence.

The minister directed all departments to work in close coordination and adhere to the timelines to ensure timely completion of the project, and asked for periodic progress reports to be furnished to the office of the Industries Ministry. The inspection is part of a wider drive to upgrade arterial links in the city and support connectivity to technology and industrial hubs. Work plans will focus on minimising inconvenience to residents while delivering the widened carriageway within the stated schedule.
