40,000 Narsingi residents demand action on roads, traffic, sewage
HYDERABAD: Residents living near My Home Avatar Junction in Narsingi have complained to the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC) warning that they will be compelled to resort to democratic forms of agitation if the long-pending civic issues plaguing the area are not addressed promptly.
More than 40,000 people live within a one-kilometre radius of My Home Avatar Junction. Specifically, resident groups from Hallmark Vicinia, My Home Avatar, Lansum Etania, Jayabheri Summit, Rajapushpa Provencia, Vasavi Atlantis, and other communities sent their complaints to the Zonal Municipal Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner of Narsingi Circle.
The representations list nine civic concerns, several of which residents say have been raised repeatedly through official channels for years without any permanent resolution. Among these, top concerns include dirty, poorly maintained roads, severe traffic jams, and no long-term traffic plan for the area. Residents blame local officials for not building new roads as the population grows.
In addition, residents worry about sewage flowing into stormwater drains and polluting Muski Lake. They report not having enough drinking water, a lack of parks or green spaces, and rising pollution. Many say their neighborhood is now one of the most polluted in the region.
Furthermore, a second, more detailed letter adds two more demands. Residents want safe footpaths and walking tracks for everyone, especially seniors and children. They also ask for trees along roads and dividers to improve air quality and make the area more attractive.
Overall, both representations show residents’ deep frustration. They say they pay taxes and keep reaching out to public officials but get no lasting solutions. Residents have sent many letters, met with authorities, and attended meetings, yet the problems continue.
“For several years, residents have been paying taxes, raising concerns, submitting representations, and requesting action through various forums. Despite these efforts, the issues remain unresolved, and residents are losing confidence in the system. We cannot continue to put our families’ health, safety, and quality of life at risk,” said Gowtham Krishna Reddy, a resident.
Residents demand that senior GHMC officials visit the site immediately. They want a joint meeting with community representatives. They also ask for a clear timeline to fix every issue. Both letters end with a clear warning. If officials do not act, residents will protest peacefully and mobilize the community, as guaranteed by the Constitution.
My Home Avatar Junction in Narsingi is part of the Serilingampally zone under the Cyberabad Municipal Corporation (CMC). The area has grown rapidly, with new gated communities and thousands of families. But roads, sewage, water, parks, and public transport have not kept up with this growth, a problem seen elsewhere in Hyderabad’s outskirts.
The reference to Muski Lake being polluted by sewage overflow adds an environmental dimension to what is already a public health concern. Muski Lake is one of the water bodies in the area and its contamination, if confirmed, would represent a broader ecological issue beyond the immediate residential complaints.
