Cyberabad Officials Hold Joint Meeting to Fix Monsoon Traffic Issues

Civic bodies and police departments held a joint convergence meeting at the Cyberabad Police Commissionerate on Monday, August 10, 2026, to formulate a coordinated strategy against monsoon waterlogging, damaged roads, and traffic bottlenecks across Cyberabad.

The meeting brought together key administrative leaders including Cyberabad Police Commissioner M. Ramesh, Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) Commissioner Srijana, HMWS&SB Managing Director Ashok Reddy, TGSPDCL Chairman and Managing Director Jitesh V. Patil, and TGIIC Vice-Chairman and Managing Director K. Shashanka. Representatives from the traffic police and several other infrastructure departments were also in attendance.

During the review, officials assessed ongoing road improvement works, general traffic management, and monsoon preparedness across the commissionerate. A primary outcome of the session was the joint identification by CMC and Traffic Police officials of specific road stretches requiring immediate repair, with a particular focus on severely damaged surfaces and persistent potholes.

To ensure smoother vehicular movement at busy junctions, officials marked locations where existing free-left turns need improvement or where new free-lefts should be constructed. The Traffic Police highlighted multiple flood-prone stretches that frequently experience severe waterlogging during heavy downpours, calling for immediate interventions to prevent traffic disruptions.

In addition to road surfaces, the session addressed traffic signals and pedestrian infrastructure. Officials discussed the installation of new traffic signals at major junctions and the urgent restoration of existing non-functional signals. Stretches requiring new or upgraded footpaths were also designated to improve safety for pedestrians.

Cyberabad Police Commissioner M. Ramesh urged all stakeholder agencies to work in close coordination with the Traffic Police. He emphasized the necessity of time-bound completion for road widening, pothole repairs, waterlogging mitigation, the creation of free-lefts, and the relocation of electrical poles and other utility structures obstructing carriageways.

Mr. Ramesh instructed departments to conduct regular field inspections and joint reviews, giving top priority to locations that frequently report severe congestion, bottlenecks, traffic accidents, and public inconvenience. He noted that a coordinated resolution of these infrastructure problems would expand road capacity, reduce commute delays, and increase overall safety for motorists and pedestrians.

CMC Commissioner Srijana assured police officials that the deficiencies identified during the joint survey would be prioritized for rapid rectification. She emphasized the need for continuous coordination among various involved entities, including HMWS&SB, TGSPDCL, HYDRAA, TGIIC, HGCL, Roads and Buildings, NHAI, and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
