    The Regional Ring Road (Triple R) project in Hyderabad has become controversial due to major changes in its route, especially in the southern part. The new alignment is being criticized for allegedly favoring certain political leaders, as it bypasses the original plan in favor of land owned by influential people.

    Initially, the project route was 189 kilometers long, but it has now been extended to 194 kilometers. Locals are upset, claiming that this extension mainly benefits a few powerful politicians who own large amounts of land in the area. The new route also cuts through land owned by small farmers, causing distress in local communities.

    Farmers from the affected villages are worried about losing their land for the benefit of these elite landowners. Many have voiced their concerns and are preparing to protest against the government’s decision.

    The original alignment, proposed during the time of former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao (KCR), had been approved. However, the current Congress government has allegedly changed the route to benefit certain leaders—both from Congress and the ruling parties—who own large portions of land in places like Chevella and Amanagal.

    Many are questioning the secrecy around the new alignment and the speed at which it was implemented. Farmers who are losing their land accuse the government of prioritizing the interests of the rich and powerful over the needs of ordinary people.

    There are also allegations that the alignment changes were made to avoid central government scrutiny. The state government is reportedly seeking funding from the World Bank, which would allow them to carry out the project without central oversight. This has led to further speculation of corruption.

    Observers have noticed a sharp rise in land demand near the new alignment, raising concerns about insider deals. The situation remains tense, with local communities preparing to protest, demanding a fair and transparent route that doesn’t disproportionately harm small farmers.
