• The Rajiv Rahadari Property Owners’ Joint Action Committee (JAC) opposed compensating affected owners through Transferable Development Rights (TDR), citing the risk that certificates could sell below face value and cause financial losses.
• A recent government order extended TDR provisions to Cantonment properties previously outside Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority limits, potentially affecting properties covered by the proposed project.
• JAC chairman Telukunta Satish Gupta said owners should not be compelled or pressured to accept TDR and cautioned them against surrendering property or accepting compensation without independent legal and financial advice.
• The JAC demanded fair, just and adequate cash compensation based on prevailing open-market value, and compensation on par with the ratio provided to property owners affected in Thumkunta. It urged owners to assess TDR’s market value, legal implications and financial risks before consenting.

• 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.

Telangana BJP president N Ramchander Rao demanded that the state government increase compensation for people losing land, houses and buildings to the Rajiv Rahadari road-widening project in Karkhana. He said compensation should reflect prevailing property market values. Rao joined a protest by affected residents in Karkhana on Tuesday and expressed the party’s support for fair compensation. He said residents were not opposed to the road expansion and were cooperating with it.

Hundreds of residents and property owners affected by the proposed Rajiv Rahadari road-widening project held a one-day protest at the Ambedkar Statue in Karkhana on Tuesday. The Rajiv Rahadari Property Owners’ Joint Action Committee (JAC) said it supported the project but demanded fair compensation reflecting the actual value of properties being acquired and affected livelihoods.

The Rajiv Rahadari Property Owners’ Joint Action Committee (JAC), joined by Secunderabad Cantonment MLA Sri Ganesh Narayanan, submitted a representation to Hyderabad Collector Priyanka Ala on June 10, seeking a 150-foot rather than 200-foot elevated corridor on State Highway-1 through core commercial and residential stretches. It also sought compensation at prevailing market rates.

The JAC said affected properties, including hospitals, shops, restaurants and grocery outlets, have existed for 25 to 50 years and provide thousands of jobs. It said a 200-foot expansion could demolish two rows of buildings in several locations and alter the locality. The existing road is 50 to 60 feet wide, and the JAC called expansion from Gymkhana Grounds unnecessary, citing narrower roads at Jubilee Hills’ Road No. 36 and Banjara Hills’ Road No. 1.

The JAC cited Medchal compensation of ₹1.1 lakh per square yard, nearly 10 times card value. Hyderabad offers range from ₹90,000 to ₹1.4 lakh per sq. yd., against claimed market rates of ₹2.5 lakh to ₹3 lakh per sq. yd. It said local property values are comparable to Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills.
