Justice B. Vijaysen Reddy of the Telangana High Court on Thursday adjourned to July 30 the hearing of a writ petition seeking a direction to the authorities to expedite the construction of the elevated corridor from Suchitra to Kompally on Hyderabad-Nizamabad national highway no. 44. 

A 33-year-old techie C. Snehit Reddy of Kompally filed the writ petition stating that the Union government under Bharatmala Pariyojana scheme proposed construction of four six-lane elevated corridors from Secunderabad to Medchal on NH-44. The work of the elevated corridor from Suchitra to Kompally was started in 2002 and was supposed to be completed in 2024. 

Citing various reasons, the deadline for completion of the corridor was extended till April of 2026. Even after the said deadline, the corridor remained uncompleted, the petitioner claimed. He contended that the stretch from Suchitra to Medchal on the national highway was highly prone to accidents. Several lives were lost and many sustained injuries in road crashes on this route, he claimed. He sought a direction to the authorities to ensure the construction of the corridor was completed at the earliest.
