Shilpa Layout Flyover ready to ease traffic
Once opened to the public, the flyover will ease traffic flow at Gachibowli Junction by facilitating conflict-free movement between the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Kondapur, and also improves connectivity between Hitech City and the Financial District.
Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy is expected to inaugurate the flyover in the first week of June. The flyover, part of the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP), was built at a cost of `178 crore. It spans 1.20 km in length and 24 metres in width with six lanes. It is a third-level structure built above two existing flyovers — the Gachibowli Junction Flyover and the Shilpa Layout Phase-1 Flyover. With this, 37 out of 42 SRDP works have been completed.
GHMC Commissioner RV Karnan recently inspected the project and instructed engineers to finish the remaining work promptly.
Meanwhile, Karnan has asked SCR officials to complete the railway portions of the Falaknuma and Shastripuram ROBs in the next two to three months. The Falaknuma ROB is scheduled for completion by the end of July and the Shastripuram ROB by the end of August. Their completion will bring the total number of completed SRDP works to 39.

No NOC, no power to highrises: Telangana HC
HYDERABAD: The Telangana High Court has ruled that electricity supply to multi-storey buildings cannot be released without an occupancy or completion certificate from municipal authorities. Justice Nagesh Bheemapaka gave the ruling while disposing of a petition filed by Mohammed Arif Rizwan, who sought power supply to his property at Himayathnagar, Hyderabad, without producing the certificate. Rizwan, represented by counsel Mohd Habeebuddin, argued that his building, consisting of a stilt and five upper floors, had been constructed as per the sanctioned GHMC plan. He said all charges had been paid and sanction for power supply was issued on January 7, 2025. He pointed out that in earlier cases the court had permitted electricity release on the basis of an undertaking to furnish the certificate later.

GHMC to implement flood mitigation measures in low-lying areas
Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has invited agencies to prepare detailed project reports and draw up comprehensive plans to tackle the problem of inundation in low-lying areas of Ameerpet during the monsoon. The move comes days after chief minister A Revanth Reddy's assurance to residents of these areas that the govt would take urgent steps to address the issue. The civic body has invited agencies to conduct a rainfall intensity survey and study the discharge and sewerage networks in several colonies of Ameerpet. This includes the major drain running from Krishnakath Park to Buddhanagar via Madhuranagar, Harsha Mess, Maitrivanam, Aditya Trade Centre, Satyam Theatre and Gangubaibasthi. GHMC has asked agencies to utilise the latest national and international techniques for the effective completion of the works for the stormwater drain network to remove inundations during heavy rains. Consultant firms were told to prepare a detailed plan and cost estimates as per bid documents.

In order to prevent and mitigate the consequences of flooding in the future and minimise the damages to properties, a comprehensive stormwater drain network is needed. The works proposed to be taken up are of high priority, targeting primarily to permanently address the hardships experienced by the people in those localities. The focus will be on the prevention of encroachments on drains, followed by homes, businesses, and roads," said an official in GHMC's engineering wing. GIS mapping of stormwater drains In an effort to enhance urban flood management and improve stormwater infrastructure, the GHMC embarked on plans to implement a GIS-based survey and mapping of stormwater drains within its limits. The geomapping of stormwater drains entails the digital mapping of the entire stormwater drain network utilising GIS technology, based on high-accuracy base maps generated through drone surveys. The exercise will capture precise locations, dimensions, and connectivity data of all drain lines, culverts, and catch pits, linking them with geospatial coordinates. This data will contribute to the preparation of a comprehensive stormwater drain master plan. Visual maps generated through the project will be shared with communities to increase awareness of local drainage systems and encourage citizen participation in reporting issues, officials added.
