Pre-monsoon works face hiccups as water logging grips parts of city
Hyderabad: With the onset of monsoon, the city is witnessing heavy water logging, thanks to the incomplete pre-monsoon preparations. The residents alleged that officials had ignored the seriousness of water logging and had taken no step to prevent the water inundation in localities. Despite repeated warnings and past experiences of flooding of various areas across the city, the monsoon related work appears to be moving at a slow pace. There was no proper desilting of manholes, storm water drains, and nalas which can prevent water logging. In several areas, there was no desilting and if completed following the heavy rains, heaps of desilted mud remained uncleared from the roads. Though the civic body has taken measures to ensure that no rainwater to be inundated, it has been observed that the roads were blocked due to water logging. According to activists, the status of monsoon-related works including desilting and works under the Telangana government's Strategic Nala Development Program (SNDP) in GHMC limits is still underway and nowhere near completion, despite passing the deadline. 'A brief 15-minute downpour is leaving parts of main roads in knee-deep water, which exposed the unpreparedness for the monsoon season,' said Mohammed Ahmed, an activist. Activists said that construction activities must cease during the season. However, the works are continuing in different parts of the city, posing risks to drivers during heavy rainfall, as the entire stretch where the works are going on are dug up, and filled with potholes. Venkat Rao a resident of Surya Nagar colony in Shaikpet said, 'During heavy rainfall, numerous internal roads within our locality see severe water logging, with water levels rising up to the knees. It is a challenge for us in accessing the main road. In these flooded streets, we found ourselves stranded in the middle of a submerged road, unable to proceed further in our vehicles.' During rains, various areas in the city are witnessing water logging including the worst affected colonies in Tolichowki, Attapur, LB Nagar, Uppal, Begumpet, Kukatpally, Miyapur, Banjara Hills, Jubilee Hills, Vanasthalipuram, Hayath Nagar, Somajiguda, Ameerpet, Nampally, among others. These areas have been witnessing massive flooding during rains. Also, several localities in the Old City like Talabkatta, Tadbun, Yakutpura, Dabeerpura, Darulshifa, Bahadurpura and Old Malakpet. Moreover, the GHMC identified over 141 locations that are affected by water logging and measures were taken to address the issue permanently.

Hyderabad Airport Metro Rail okays DPRs for 3 corridors of Phase 2B, Telangana govt nod awaited
The Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of the proposed Phase 2B of Hyderabad Metro Rail for three corridors — Jubilee Bus Station (JBS)-Medchal, JBS-Shameerpet, and Airport-Future City — have been approved by the Hyderabad Airport Metro Limited (HAML) board, officials said on Thursday. The proposed corridors span a length of 86.1 km and are estimated at a cost of ₹19,579 crore. According to N V S Reddy, managing director of HAML, the DPRs are currently under review by the Telangana government. 'Confidentiality needs to be maintained on certain aspects related to these until the state government approval is received, and therefore, full details cannot be provided at this time,' he said. However, he added that several aspects have been included in the DPR, along with transforming JBS into an international hub as per the directions of Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy. He revealed that the JBS-Medchal route will be a fully elevated corridor of 24.5 kilometres with 18 stations whereas the JBS Station-Shameerpet route will be a 22-kilometer corridor with 14 stations. This route will be 20.35 km elevated and 1.65 km underground. The Metro MD said that the underground route will be near the Hakimpet Airport. RGIA-Future City (Skill University) is 39.6 kilometers, of which 1.5 km will be underground from the airport, 21 km elevated, and 17 km at grade. He stated that it would be from Shamshabad International Airport to Skills University via Pedda Golconda and Raviryala ORR exits. N V S Reddy reiterated that the second phase (B) DPRs have been comprehensively prepared and submitted to the state government, keeping in view the central government guidelines, Metro rail construction estimates in other states, and the traffic needs of Hyderabad city. He stated that full details will be given once the state government approves the DPRs and submits the proposal to the Central Government. The HMRL currently operates three corridors covering 69 km and is the largest public-private partnership Metro rail project in the world. Under Phase-1, the HMRL has been operating LB Nagar to Miyapur, Nagole to Raidurgam, and JBS to MGBS corridors for the last five years. The stretch between MGBS to Falaknuma has not materialised, mainly due to objections to property acquisition and route alignment issues, and the new government has taken up this stretch along with the rest of the Phase 2 corridors. Under phase 2, significant expansion to existing Metro rail corridors is planned for about 76 km at an estimated cost of Rs 24,269 crore. These include Miyapur to Patancheru (approximately 13.4 km) with about 10 stations; Nagole to Shamshabad Airport via LB Nagar and Chandrayangutta (approximately 29 km) with 24 stations; Raidurg to Kokapet (approximately 8 km) with eight stations; LB Nagar to Hayathnagar via Vanasthalipuram (approximately 7.1 km) with 6 stations; and MGBS to Falaknuma (approximately 7.5 km) with six stations.
