Hyderabad Roads and Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy directed officials to undertake road construction in three shifts, including night shifts, after the monsoon to ensure timely completion. He asked chief engineers to deploy experienced field engineers for each package and make them accountable for meeting project deadlines. The Minister was reviewing the infrastructure projects across the State, including highway development, the new High Court complex, Osmania General Hospital and several healthcare institutions. He said works under 10 road packages would be launched during July as part of the first phase of the State’s HAM road programme.
The phase envisages upgrading 6,092 km of roads across 34 packages at an estimated cost of about ₹13,000 crore. He instructed officials to speed up work on the 42-km Nalgonda-Mahabubnagar double road project, being executed under Package-2 at an estimated cost of ₹155 crore. Venkat Reddy announced that foundation stones for HAM and Central Road Fund (CRF) projects in Karimnagar district would be laid on July 6 in the presence of district ministers and local public representatives. Reviewing the construction of the new High Court complex and judges’ residential quarters at Rajendranagar, the minister directed officials to accelerate works and ensure that the project is ready for inauguration by December 2027.
Officials informed the meeting that about 16% of the work had been completed so far. The minister further instructed officials to fast-track works at the new Osmania General Hospital building, Sanathnagar TIMS, Alwal TIMS, LB Nagar TIMS, expansion of NIMS and Warangal Multi- Superspecialty Hospital so that they could be opened for public use at the earliest. He also warned that he would begin surprise inspections of construction sites from this week and that any negligence in project execution would invite stringent disciplinary action.
He reviewed the progress of development works at Basar and Bhadrachalam temple projects and assessed the R&B department’s preparations for the upcoming Godavari Pushkaralu.
