Hyderabad property registrations rose slightly after a 40-day lull, following the state government’s decision to allow registration of open plots, houses and flats on the Section 22-A prohibited properties list. Registrations are expected to rise further from October 11, when Navratri begins, and during the Dasara festival, despite the 14-day Pitru Paksha period.

Sub-Registrar Offices at Rajendranagar, Gandipet, Mozamjahi Market, Champapet, Bairamalguda and Keesara saw more visitors. Document writers reported an increase in sale agreements, while SRO staff received more enquiries about properties on the prohibited list.

A Bandlaguda owner said a Section 22-A issue forced cancellation and redrafting of a sale agreement before registration was completed at Rajendra Nagar. A Gandipet owner said registration had been paused pending clearance from the RDO and Hyderabad collectorate; it later proceeded without additional NOCs.

At an auction held midnight Tuesday in Keerthi Richmond Villas gated community, Rajendranagar circle, a Ganesh idol fetched Rs 1.01 crore. The Shaktimaan group won the bidding.

Keerthi Richmond Villas auctions are held annually among four community groups. Last year (2025), an idol in the same community fetched a record Rs 2.31 crore.

The auction tradition started in 1994 at Rs 450 and has grown to lakhs over three decades. Last year, Balaji Ganesha idol in Balapoor fetched Rs 35 lakh. In 2024 it was Rs 30.01 lakh.

Attention now focuses on tomorrow's Balapoor auction, where a 21-kg idol will be auctioned, traditionally marking the beginning of city immersions.

Internal roads across Hyderabad have deteriorated over the past year, with stormwater pipelines under the Strategic Nala Development Programme and drainage works leaving stretches bumpy, dug up and unmotorable. Roads in Tarnaka, between Lalapet and Nacharam main roads, await re-carpeting after pipeline work and carry regular two- and four-wheeler traffic. RTC Colony’s main road and nearby colony roads in Chintalkunta have also remained dug up for several months. The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation council’s dissolution has left local areas without elected representatives. Residents report similar problems in Hitech City, Gachibowli, Attapur, Rajendranagar, Nizampet, Bachupally, Madhapur-Kakatiya Hills, Ayyappa Society and Gayatrinagar.
