Hyderabad
Roads & Buildings Minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy has directed officials to accelerate ongoing construction works under the R&B Department, especially those nearing completion and ready for public use.
The Minister said that the R&B Department carries major responsibilities and urged officers to prioritise and finish critical infrastructure projects swiftly. Mr. Venkat Reddy reviewed the progress of works taken up by the department with senior officials on Sunday.
The Minister inquired about the status of pending Integrated District Office Complexes (IDOCs) in Adilabad, Warangal, Mulugu, Narayanpet and Karimnagar districts. Officials brought to his notice the issue of pending payment of bills.
He wanted officials to ensure completion of IDOCs in Warangal and Mulugu, which were in final stages, so that they were kept ready for inauguration. Referring to the rail-over-bridges, he specifically wanted the completion of Madhavnagar ROB in Nizamabad at the earliest. Officials were directed to focus on the construction of medical colleges and TIMS that were in the final stages of completion.
Emphasising the need for quality road infrastructure, he cited Greater Hyderabad, which witnessed movement of over 91 lakh vehicles every day calling for the need for high quality road infrastructure in both urban and rural parts of the State.
The Minister assured that he would discuss and resolve pending bills of contractors and work agencies with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.

Works on Sankar Vilas flyover to begin despite pending land issues
Guntur: Notwithstanding the pending legal issues with regard to land acquisition, the district administration has decided to kick-start the works on the prestigious Sankar Vilas flyover. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The R&B department has been given a go ahead by the district collector to launch the works from Monday. The first phase of the four-lane rail over bridge (ROB) will be launched from AC college junction (East constituency). The Union govt has granted Rs 98 crore to take up the long-pending flyover project almost eight months ago. Curiously, the Guntur Municipal Corporation (GMC) could not complete land acquisition due to strong resistance from the owners of commercial properties on Brodipet main road. About 50 property owners approached the court and got stay orders on acquisition of their properties until payment of compensation under the land acquisition Act. However, GMC had been negotiating them to accept the transferable development rights (TDR) bonds as it did not have sufficient funds to give the compensation in cash. The GMC estimated that it would require at least Rs 50 crore to clear the compensation through land acquisition Act. While the property owners have been waiting for the relief, district administration gave them a shocker by deciding to launch the work. Sources said that this is a strategic attempt to push the property owners, who refused to budge and accept the TDR bonds as compensation, into a corner. Sources said that the main road on both the sides of existing ROB will be closed for vehicular movement from Monday and R&B department will start bringing down the existing flyover before laying the pillars for the new obe.
