Hyderabad Begins Removal of Utility Poles from Central Roadway

HYDERABAD: The Hyderabad Electric Supply Company (HESCO) has commenced the removal of utility poles installed in the middle of the road from Alamdar Chowk to N-5 National Highway as of October 30, 2026. This initiative follows a report aired by ARY News, highlighting the need for improved road safety and accessibility.

HESCO officials stated that the decision to remove the poles aims to enhance traffic flow and reduce accidents in the area. Local residents have expressed their support for the project, noting that the poles have long posed a hazard for both vehicles and pedestrians. “This is a much-needed change that will make our roads safer,” said a local shopkeeper.

The removal of these poles is expected to significantly improve the commuting experience for citizens, potentially reducing traffic congestion and enhancing overall public safety. The project reflects a growing awareness of infrastructure needs in urban areas, as cities strive to modernize and accommodate increasing vehicular traffic.

Moving forward, HESCO plans to complete the removal process within the next few weeks, followed by a review of other areas where similar improvements can be made. Authorities are also considering public feedback to ensure that future infrastructure projects align with community needs.
