Hyderabad: Several areas in Jalpally municipality are all set to undergo a major metamorphosis in the coming days with a slew of developmental works being grounded and expected to be completed within a few months.

Apart from the works related to road widening and restoration, sewerage lines and beautification are also being taken up in the municipality. In a coordinated effort, various government agencies including Telangana Urban Finance Infrastructure Development Corporation, Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC), Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority and Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWSSB), have allocated funds required for a series of works.

Among the works being taken up, the Pahadishareef to Mamidpally road is soon to be developed at a cost of Rs 3.10 crore. “The road widening will be taken up on the stretch and we will also lay cement roads soon. Once the basic works are done, construction of road median and providing modernised street lighting will be taken up on the road stretch,” said Commissioner Jalpally Municipality, G Praveen Kumar.

The municipality will also be taking up beautification of the popular Jalpally Lake here and some major plans have been drawn up for the purpose. The various components of the project at the water body include setting up a rock garden, making boating facilities available and also a walkway along the peripheries.

“Few works like putting iron mesh, installing benches and fixing street lights were done. Now we plan to have a garden and take up illumination around the tank in a planned manner. Adequate facilities are also to be made for parking of vehicles for the benefit of visitors,” he said.

This apart, the municipal authorities will be restoring the road from Osmania Hotel to Venkatapur, which connects several colonies of Shaheehnagar with the Chandrayangutta – RGI Airport road. “Several other works like the development of nalas, drinking water supply lines and sewerage lines are to be taken up,” the Commissioner revealed.

For a long, Jalpally located on the city outskirts remained neglected with residents here facing several civic issues. However, in the last couple of years, developmental works were taken up by the government. The authorities have also identified a land parcel at Mamidpally where the construction of a school and hospital is to be taken up. A separate budget is expected to be allocated for the purpose by the government, officials maintained.
