Senior officials from five key departments, including Cyberabad Municipal Corporation, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Traffic Police, Irrigation Department and TSIIC, conducted a joint inspection of key stretches in Madhapur on Saturday. The teams reviewed bottlenecks and discussed coordinated measures to streamline vehicular movement.

During the visit, officials examined road-widening works from Lemon Tree Hotel to Cyber Towers and from Cyber Towers to the Medicover junction, both identified as major bottlenecks during peak hours. The current road widening works on the Lemon Tree to Trident Hotel stretch on the busy Hi-Tec City road was also reviewed. The team later inspected Durgam Cheruvu and Nectar Garden.

Officials examined the existing carriageway width, identified encroachments, reviewed utility obstructions and assessed the feasibility of widening at critical bottlenecks. Detailed discussions were held on coordinated shifting of utilities, removal of encroachments and synchronised execution of works to minimise inconvenience to commuters.
