Officials told to speed up Warangal underground drainage tender

Officials have been directed to accelerate the tender process for a proposed underground drainage project in Warangal, Andhra Pradesh. Municipal Administration and Urban Development Secretary and Commissioner and Director of Municipal Administration T.K. Sridevi reviewed the project through a video conference from Hyderabad on Saturday.

Sridevi sought an update on progress and the status of the tender process. She instructed officials to complete outstanding technical and administrative formalities and invite tenders at the earliest. According to the report, the project is intended to improve sewage management and urban infrastructure in the city.

Sridevi told officials to coordinate their work to prevent delays in implementation. The meeting also considered proposals for obtaining funding through the Urban Challenge Fund. Officials discussed steps needed to mobilise money and secure the required approvals.

Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation Commissioner T. Venkanna and other engineering officials took part in the review. The report did not specify the project’s estimated cost, the area to be covered or a deadline for completing construction.

The instruction concerns the stage before construction, with technical and administrative formalities still pending. Officials were asked to move the tender process forward rather than wait for further delays. The proposed drainage system forms part of broader urban infrastructure planning for Warangal.

The source material did not provide details on the existing sewage network, the number of residents expected to benefit or the date on which tenders would be issued.
