HYDERABAD: Vice Chairman of the Hyderabad SITE Association of Trade and Industry, Esar Kumar, attended a high-level meeting chaired by Commissioner Hyderabad Division, Fayaz Hussain Abbasi, where key city development projects, including the Autobhan Road Phase-III and other critical infrastructure initiatives, were reviewed in detail. During the meeting, Esar Kumar highlighted significant issues faced by the city’s business and industrial areas. He emphasized that the water supply lines serving industries in SITE Hyderabad pass beneath the under-construction roads. He urged the administration to establish an alternative system to ensure uninterrupted water supply, allowing industrial operations to continue smoothly during the development work. Furthermore, Kumar recommended the removal of the NTDC wall to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion on Autobhan Road, thereby enhancing the city’s overall transport efficiency. Other infrastructure and business-related operational challenges were also discussed, with an emphasis on developing effective strategies for their resolution. Accompanying Kumar, Finance Secretary Aslam Bawani stressed that these development projects should not be limited to road construction or physical infrastructure alone but should also ensure improved facilities and services for the local business community and the general public. The Hyderabad SITE Association of Trade and Industry appreciated the proactive approach of the district administration in providing a meaningful platform for stakeholders, particularly the business community, to present their concerns and suggestions. The Association reaffirmed its commitment to continue supporting the administration for sustainable city development and a business-friendly environment.
