Hyderabad: Four civic infrastructure proposals worth ₹23.94 crore, including stormwater drain works at Kondapur, Kukatpally, and Chandanagar and a new Circle Office at Ameenpur, were taken up by the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) at its 9th Ordinary Standing Committee and General Body meetings. A proposal to revise wages for outsourced sanitation workers was also considered.

The meetings were chaired by Sarfaraz Ahmad, Secretary, MA&UD (HMDA limits) and Special Officer, CMC, along with Commissioner G. Srijana. Zonal Commissioners and heads of departments also attended.

Of the four infrastructure proposals, ₹6 crore has been estimated for a new Circle Office building at Ameenpur in Serilingampally Zone. Another ₹6 crore proposal covers remodelling existing stormwater drains along two stretches between Nerella Lake and Mundi Kunta Lake to address waterlogging near Santosh Dhaba in Kondapur.

In Kukatpally Zone, the CMC took up a ₹5.95 crore proposal to remodel an existing stormwater drain along a 172-metre stretch downstream from Durgam Cheruvu towards Malkam Cheruvu. A separate proposal worth ₹5.99 crore involves constructing an open stormwater drain from beside A1 Batteries to Plot No. 1-35/4, behind Sri Devi Theatre, in Chandanagar.

The three drainage proposals account for ₹17.94 crore and include remodelling existing drains as well as constructing a new one to improve stormwater flow in the identified areas.

Apart from infrastructure works, the meetings took up a proposal to enhance wages for outsourced sanitation workers, Sanitary Field Assistants and Sanitary Resource Persons working in the erstwhile merged urban local bodies of CMC.

Under the proposal, revised basic wages would be implemented on an interim basis from November 1, 2026, based on the existing basic wages in each municipality. The revised wage structure will remain subject to Government ratification.
