Cyberabad Municipal Corporation Commissioner G. Srijana inspected Kondapur on Thursday to review land acquisition for the proposed Hyderabad City Innovative and Transformative Infrastructure (H-CITI) project.
The GHMC is constructing seven steel flyovers and seven underpasses around KBR National Park under the H-CITI project to ease congestion and create signal-free junctions. The infrastructure works, estimated at Rs 1,090 crore, are expected to be completed by December 2028.
Environmental activists and NGO members staged a protest near Indo-American Cancer Hospital against tree cutting for H-CITI project works around KBR Park. The protesters demanded public hearings, environmental impact assessments and better public transport solutions instead of flyovers and underpasses.
Citizens in Hyderabad staged their second protest in four days against tree felling for flyover and underpass construction near KBR Park, demanding suspension of works under the H-CITI project until legal clarity is achieved.
Large-scale tree felling for flyovers near KBR Park and IIIT Junction has sparked protests in Hyderabad. Activists allege due process violations, while officials maintain approvals were obtained. The controversy highlights tensions between infrastructure development and environmental conservation.
The GHMC reported Rs. 759.98 crore in revenue from April to August 2025, a 90 per cent rise from last year. Officials attributed the growth to real estate activity and upcoming H-CITI infrastructure projects boosting confidence in Hyderabad’s property sector.
