Completion of the service road is pending the acquisition of five remaining land parcels, which engineers estimate could take up to fifteen days.

Project engineers indicated that the new infrastructure would improve commute efficiency between the outer-ring road (ORR), Kondapur, Hyderabad airport and Hi-Tech City.

Commissioner Karnan also addressed concerns raised by local residents at Malkam Cheruvu regarding sanitation and stray dog nuisance. He instructed officials to implement corrective measures, particularly to prevent stormwater drains from contaminating the lake area.
