Focus on Tunnel Works at Tolichowki Flyover
The officials first visited the Tolichowki flyover, where tunnel works are being planned on the main road. Given the heavy daily traffic in the area, Ashok Reddy emphasized the need to complete the tunneling — which will be carried out at depths between 8 to 11 meters — without causing disruption to the public. He directed the officials to ensure completion of the works before the onset of the monsoon season.

The MD instructed that coordination be maintained with GHMC, TRANSCO, and HMWSSB’s Transmission and O&M wings while executing tunneling works. He also stressed the importance of safety protocols, proper barricading, and usage of protective gear by workers.
Road Repairs and House Safety to be Prioritized
Ashok Reddy ordered immediate road restoration in areas where pipeline work has been completed. He also visited the road leading to the historic Seven Tombs (7 Tombs) area, where tunneling work is proposed. Officials were instructed to submit a plan ensuring that residential structures along the route remain undisturbed.
Later, the MD inspected ongoing pipeline expansion work in MD Lines and surrounding areas. MLA Kausar Mohiuddin urged speedy completion of the project to minimize inconvenience to residents during the upcoming monsoon.
Surprise Visit to Shaikpet Water Board Office
Before the site visits, Ashok Reddy visited the HMWSSB office in Shaikpet. He expressed surprise over the non-utilization of 10 MLD capacity reservoirs built nearly a decade ago. He ordered a survey to assess the areas that could benefit from water supply through these reservoirs and instructed officials to bring them into active use immediately. He noted that activating these reservoirs could significantly improve water supply in the Shaikpet and nearby zones.
Ashok Reddy, along with the MLA, also inspected the water treatment plant within the office premises.
