Traffic diversions from the ongoing Uppal–Narapally elevated corridor works are spilling into colony roads and residential lanes around Uppal X roads and surrounding areas.

Commute times have increased substantially: a journey from Uppal to Boduppal that took five minutes now takes 15 minutes. A commuter from Ramanthapur to Turkayamjal reported heavy traffic at 6 a.m., taking over 10 minutes to cross a stretch normally taking four or five minutes.

Three-way diversion system in operation: Survey of India road towards Beerappagadda lane carries 50–60% of diverted traffic; Uppal Bhagayath and Nalla Cheruvu road is another route; Habsiguda–Nacharam–NFC corridor is being used by navigation app users.

Worst-affected stretches: Raghavendra Colony Road, Laxma Reddy Colony Road, old Sub-Registrar office lane, and Beerappagadda road, with congestion extending into late evenings.

Business impact: Walk-in customers have dropped noticeably. A mobile phone store on Boduppal Main Road reported customers avoiding the stretch, with journey times from Boduppal to Uppal increasing from five minutes to 15 minutes.

Parking issues: Residents parking hurriedly along roadsides to save time before catching the Metro, choking narrow bylanes. Evening hours see additional 10–15 minutes of traffic delays.

Traffic Inspector G. Nagaraju stated the authorised diversion adds approximately 0.5 km and 2–3 minutes of travel time, but some commuters are driving in opposite direction attempting to save time, causing temporary choke points.

HYDRAA successfully reclaimed a 2,000 sq yd park site in Raghavendra Colony, Kondapur, Serilingampally mandal, Ranga Reddy district. The land had been earmarked in the approved layout for public park and community hall. Encroachers created fake bye numbers, divided the site into ten 200 sq yd plots, and erected temporary sheds. The Raghavendra Colony C-Block Welfare and Cultural Association lodged a complaint through HYDRAA Prajavani platform. HYDRAA Commissioner AV Ranganath ordered joint field inspection with relevant departments. Officials confirmed land was officially designated for park and community hall. HYDRAA removed illegal structures, fenced the area, and installed signboards. Encroachers had obtained building permissions through fraudulent regularisation. Following a High Court order, GHMC revoked construction permissions and cancelled regularisation approvals. The reclaimed site is estimated to be worth Rs 30 crore in the open market.
