TGSPDCL CMD Jitesh V. Patil said precautionary steps were being taken to ensure uninterrupted power supply: Reports
HYDERABAD: Cyberabad police will expand the use of drones, CCTV cameras and smart technologies in coordination with the Cyberabad Security Council to strengthen monitoring of monsoon field operations.
At a convergence meeting on Monday, commissioner M. Ramesh directed departments to take preventive measures jointly, speed up complaint resolution and minimise inconvenience to citizens during the rainy season.
The meeting reviewed traffic, road infrastructure and monsoon‑related issues, with officials from the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC), Telangana Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) and other line departments participating.
Officials identified 245 damaged road stretches for carpeting or pothole filling, 25 pending Foot Over Bridges, 13 road‑widening proposals and 85 waterlogging‑prone points. Emergency response, infrastructure maintenance, flood prevention and public safety measures were discussed.
TGSPDCL CMD Jitesh V. Patil said precautionary steps were being taken to ensure uninterrupted power supply. Electric poles and distribution transformers would be relocated to safer places where necessary.
Other issues reviewed included desilting stormwater drains, cleaning catch pits beneath flyovers, deploying special teams in waterlogging zones, inspecting underpass motors and removing dangerous trees.
The meeting decided that excavation works for utilities should be coordinated in advance. Officials also discussed expediting tree‑branch removal, filling potholes immediately after excavation, and ensuring public transport was not disrupted in Raidurg and surrounding areas.
CMC commissioner G. Srijana, HMWS&SB managing director Ashok Reddy and joint commissioner of police Sunpreet Singh were among those present.
