Hyderabad: Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy urged Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy to intervene and resolve land acquisition hurdles delaying completion of the Amberpet service road beneath the NH-163 flyover in Hyderabad.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Minister on Friday, Kishan Reddy said the pending land acquisition had stalled the construction of the Amberpet service road, causing inconvenience to commuters using the busy corridor.
He noted that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways constructed a 1.5-kilometre four-lane flyover at Amberpet Cross Roads. The project cost ₹265 crore and was inaugurated on May 5, 2025.
However, the service road beneath the flyover remained incomplete due to delays in acquiring required land.
Kishan Reddy said the prolonged delay was affecting daily commuters. He added that the flyover project had originally received approval in 2018.
The Union Minister stated that the issue had already been raised with the State government on several occasions.

Kishan Reddy said the matter was earlier brought to the attention of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao. It was also raised with the present Chief Minister multiple times.
He noted that Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari had also raised concerns with State authorities regarding the pending Amberpet service road.
According to him, he had personally taken up the matter with the GHMC Commissioner and other officials. Despite these efforts, the issue remained unresolved.
The Union Minister said ₹2.54 crore had already been paid as compensation towards land acquisition.
However, certain bottlenecks in the process were continuing to delay the project.
Kishan Reddy requested the Chief Minister to direct officials of the GHMC and the Roads and Buildings department to resolve the obstacles.
He said quick action would help complete the Amberpet service road and ease traffic movement in the area.
