• The 18.1-km elevated corridor along Rajiv Rahadari (SH-1), from Paradise Junction to the Outer Ring Road at Shamirpet, is planned with multiple entry and exit ramps. It will help motorists travelling between the city and Alwal, Bolarum, Kowkur, Thumkunta and Shamirpet bypass busy junctions; the existing road will continue serving local traffic.
• Commuters from Shamirpet and Thumkunta currently pass through Hakimpet, Bolarum, Alwal, Trimulghery, Karkhana and Patny to reach Paradise. One commuter said his Begumpet-to-Kowkur trip has grown from 35–40 minutes four years ago to more than an hour.
• Preparatory widening has led to demolitions of shops, hospitals and other establishments in Lothkunta and Shamirpet. The Trimulgherry RTO office and Marredpally Traffic Police Station are also to be demolished. Residents anticipate disruption from construction and diversions, while some question whether more road capacity alone will ease congestion.
• HMDA estimates completion by the beginning of 2028.

Medchal-Malkajgiri Collector Mikkilineni Manu Choudary told property owners and resident welfare associations that survey numbers supported by representations and documents would be examined for removal from the 22-A prohibited-properties list within two days. A delegation from the United Federation of Resident Welfare Associations (Uferwas), other associations and owners presented title and link documents; Malkajgiri BRS MLA Marri Rajasekhara Reddy accompanied them.

The properties are in Seetaram Nagar Colony, Balaram Nagar Colony, Adarsh Nagar Colony, Mallikarjuna Nagar, Kakatiya Nagar, Defence Colony, Jupalli Homes Gated Community, RK Puram Asha Officers Colony, East Anandbagh-Srinagar Colony and Alwal-Sridham Colony. Uferwas general secretary BT Srinivasan said Supreme Court judgments protect ownership where owners establish title through valid documents and the government has not taken possession under Urban Land Ceiling (ULC) proceedings. The delegation cited long-standing title records in Asha Officers Colony, Defence Colony and Survey Nos. 109 and 111 in Seetaram Nagar Colony.

• The Rajiv Rahadari Property Owners’ Joint Action Committee held a peaceful deeksha at the Ambedkar Statue in Karkhana. Property and building owners, traders, shopkeepers, tenants and employees from different stretches participated.
• They demanded that the compensation formula reportedly used in Thumkunta also apply in Vikrampuri, Karkhana, Vasavi Nagar, Tirumalagiri, Lal Bazar, Lothkunta and Alwal.
• JAC chairman Telukunta Satish Gupta alleged that affected owners were offered different compensation for the same road-widening project. He said Thumkunta’s card value was around ₹10,600 per square yard, while compensation of nearly ₹1 lakh per square yard was reportedly paid.
• Gupta alleged collector and deputy collector office officials were pressuring owners, and urged the government to stop this and consult affected people. Protesters said they supported development but sought fair compensation for property, businesses and livelihoods lost.

The Paradise-Shamirpet elevated corridor project, planned along Rajiv Rahadari (State Highway-1), will run 18.1 km from Paradise Junction to the Outer Ring Road near Shamirpet via Trimulgherry, Karkhana, Lothkunta, Alwal, Bolarum and Thumkunta. Around 11.6 km will comprise an elevated six-lane flyover; remaining stretch includes service roads and a short underground tunnel near Hakimpet Air Force Station. The project aims to ease congestion on Secunderabad's busiest traffic corridors, particularly around the Lothkunta railway bridge. In Lothkunta, restaurants, medical shops, bakeries, general stores, sweet shops, tea stalls, automobile workshops and furniture stores have been demolished or await demolition, many serving the neighbourhood for over two decades. Notable losses include Sri Laxmi Reddy Sweets (operating since 2003), a three-year-old hospital at Lothkunta Y-junction, and a watch repair shop near Lakshmi Kala Mandir theatre in Venkatapuram. Demolished government facilities include Secunderabad North Zonal Regional Transport Authority office, Trimulgherry Traffic Police office and Karkhana Traffic Police Station. Land acquisition began in 2024; compensation awards passed March 2026. Project estimated to take three to four years. Once completed, traffic heading towards Shamirpet will move on the elevated corridor instead of internal roads, eliminating bottlenecks on the narrow State highway.
