Khajaguda corridor improvement project in Cyberabad advancing with Raidurgam Law and Order Police Station on Old Mumbai Highway directed for demolition to build proposed underpass. Adjoining Raidurgam Traffic Police Station partially affected by road widening.

Khajaguda junction carries over 300,000 vehicles daily, including nearly 100,000 during evening peak hours 4-8 p.m. Junction connects Mehdipatnam, Shaikpet, Nanakramguda and Gachibowli.

Construction status: Of 23 proposed piers, 9 foundations and 8 piers completed. Work progressing near junction at Pier 18. When reaching Pier 14 overlapping junction, authorities plan temporary closure with major traffic diversions.

Proposed diversions: Vehicles from Malkam Cheruvu diverted via Chitrapuri Colony and Lanco Hills. Traffic from Shaikpet flyover rerouted via Timber Lake Colony toward Khajaguda village road or ESCI Road.

Current conditions: Three lanes barricaded for flyover works on road median. Shaikpet-Gachibowli carriageway undergoing road widening with temporary 15-20 ft lane created using opposite carriageway. Less than three effective lanes operating with heavy traffic causing 2-3 signal cycles to cross junction.

Completion plans: Corridor will provide 150-ft-wide road including flyover and service roads between Nanakramguda and Shaikpet. Shaikpet-Gachibowli stretch expanding to 215 ft with underpass and service roads.

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) announced on April 6 that a Sewerage Treatment Plant will be constructed at Neknampur Lake to address sewage flow in the Manikonda-Neknampur corridor. The Neknampur STP is one of 39 STPs planned in Telangana under the Central government's Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT 2.0) initiative.

WHMWSSB Managing Director Ashok Reddy conducted a site inspection and directed officials to complete soil testing work immediately. The plan involves:

• Diverting sewage from Malkam Cheruvu to Neknampur Ibrahim Cheruvu, treating it at the STP, then releasing to Neknampur Lake
• Constructing trunk sewer mains on both sides of a box drain being built by GHMC for stormwater from Neknampur Cheruvu to Ibrahim Cheruvu
• Redirecting drainage lines from Manikonda, Lanco Hills and Puppalaguda to the STP
• Constructing a tanker filling station within STP premises for treated water use in gardening and construction
• Preparing a detailed project report for laying pipeline along the ORR to supply treated water
• Using treated water for gardening along the ORR and in local parks

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) will construct a sewage treatment plant (STP) at Neknampur as part of AMRUT 2.0, one of 39 STPs planned under the Central government scheme. Managing Director K Ashok Reddy directed officials to complete soil testing work immediately. Plans include: diverting sewage from Malkam Cheruvu to Neknampur Ibrahim Cheruvu, treating it at the STP, and releasing treated water back into the lake; constructing trunk sewer mains on both sides of the box drain being built by GHMC for stormwater from Neknampur Cheruvu to Ibrahim Cheruvu; redirecting drainage lines from Manikonda, Lanco Hills and Puppalaguda to the STP; constructing a tanker filling station within STP premises for treated water use in gardening and construction; utilizing treated water in local parks; preparing a DPR for laying a pipeline along ORR to supply treated water; and holding discussions with authorities to use treated water for gardening along the ORR.

Drinking water supply in parts of Hyderabad will be disrupted for 36 hours during repair and replacement work in the Manjeera Phase-III system. HMWSSB will replace High Tension electrical panels at the Peddapur pump house, which are more than 35 years old, and replace air valves on the 1,600 mm pumping main between Peddapur and Singapur and air vents on the 2,000 mm gravity main between Singapur and Peddapur.

Work runs from 8 am on March 7, 2026, to 8 pm on March 8. Supply to Shaikpet reservoir and areas under Transmission I and II will stop completely. Manikonda, Kokapet, Narsingi and Manchirevula will also have halted supply; Bhojagutta will receive water at low pressure.
