Due to of the upcoming monsoon season, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has banned road cutting and digging until further orders are issued. However, permissions were granted to government departments and private agencies for road cutting in order to lay optical fiber cable, pipelines, and other infrastructure.
Some of the departments excavating roads were the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB), Transmission Corporation of Telangana Limited (TSTRANSCO), and Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL).
Road cuttings would be halted as part of pre-monsoon preparations, and trench filling with stone dust and temporary restoration would be performed by the departments and agencies that excavated the roads.
The road cuttings should be restored by May 31, and the GHMC Executive Engineers will take the necessary steps to ensure that road users are not inconvenienced.

According to the order issued by the GHMC Commissioner, if road cutting instructions are flouted, the Executive Engineers involved will be held accountable.
