@kaurlavpreet_ @pavantimma45 @sselvan Paid parking/restrictions 1st step towards becoming mature city. But creating parking isn't really the @CYBTRAFFIC job. Parking attracts traffic.

The next step is to cap parking supply & let market pricing manage demand.

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

I've said before.. any tech/infra to 'facilitate' smoother flow of #traffic is futile. Only option is to reduce/restrict private vehicles use.

The job of @HYDTP @CYBTRAFFIC is enforcement; not 'managing' traffic. They ought to penalise every infraction to instill discipline.

[Lavpreet Kaur @kaurlavpreet_]

Real-time mapping of congestion hotspots, vehicle density, flow rates and bottlenecks to support faster, data-driven traffic control and reduce gridlocks across key corridors.

Think this will work on our roads? @pavantimma45 @srinualavilli @CityOrdinary @PrashanthBachu @sselvan

@JioCare Yashoda..
I was informed that I will receive an update by 2026-05-10T19:53:27. It is one week beyond the deadline but no response, no refund. What excuse next? Why isnt my money refunded when you are unable to provide a connection?

@TRAI @reliancejio

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

Booked JioAirFiber today (Ord# NO0001CPERTU). Was told installation is free. Technician demanded ₹500 & refused to install when I declined. Now no response from sales team. @JioCare please address this unethical practice and complete installation.

@reliancejio

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@JioCare After series of U-truns, @reliancejio finally decides you can't act on your corrupt field engineers. Instead, you decide to cancel my subscription on the 18th April.

Good riddance, I thought. But Even after 3 weeks, my money still not refunded.

Note: Beware! #JioDoesntCare

Same account (verified community, not official handle, but being used to spread propaganda and misinformation) - Now v/s Then.

Flyovers were proposed outside the park then as now. What changed?

#SaveKBR

[bhadra @bhadra99406123]

Will the Hon’ble CM @revanth_anumula please explain to his constituents and the people to Hyderabad, as to why his stance on the construction of buildings and flyovers near KBR has been dramatically reversed from when the opposition was in power to now when his Government is?

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

What cant be measured cant be improved. So this is good 1st step. But if data doesn’t lead to action, its hollow

Real value of this is to test impact of traffic policy solutions & refine them.

@srinualavilli

[Lavpreet Kaur @kaurlavpreet_]

Over a million vehicles enter Cyberabad at peak hours. The platform tracks flows in real time, classifying traffic - from two-wheelers and cars to autos and buses - to pinpoint congestion hotspots.

@CYBTRAFFIC @SCSC_Cyberabad @srinualavilli @CityOrdinary @PrashanthBachu

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

Today, my two children - Meera (15) & Pratham (16) decided to stage their protest to #SaveKBR - an effort I joined 10yrs ago.

Even they understand that flyovers only make traffic worse, and that tree feeling is bad for their future.

Wonder why grownups can't!
@revanth_anumula

[Vijay Mallangi @VijayMallangi]

Tree felling may continue, but so will our resistance.
Nature does not belong to any government — they are merely caretakers, not owners. Development cannot come at the cost of destruction, and those executing these projects are driven by profit, not people.

As citizens and stakeholders, we have every right to shape the future we want to live in — a future that protects, not erases.

This fight is far from over #savekbr

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

#Hyderabad's mobility challenges can no longer be solved merely by investments in infrastructure. Solving #traffic #congestion now requires clear #policy bias against private vehicles and strategic interventions like the #CarFreeThursday.

[Lavpreet Kaur @kaurlavpreet_]

Hyderabad can’t build its way out of traffic.

Experts call for data-driven planning, stronger public transport, and better last-mile connectivity to fix the city’s growing mobility challenge.

@JioCare Interesting. All u did is change deadline:
"Service req #SR00003396U1 has been raised.. will receive update by 2026-04-13T15:57:08.
To track status - https://t.co/1yu1TIhH6H". And link says "No requests found".

BTW, what action did you take on Mr.Raju who demanded ₹500?

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@JioCare Msg I received:
"Your service request number is SR000032W05D. You will receive an update by 2026-04-10T16:11:38"

Is it not shame that u take 16hr to register complaint & ask 3 dys to look into for such straightforward issue? Why installation still not done?

@TRAI @reliancejio

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@JioCare Responding with a question is not resolution. I've provided all details including phone numbers.

The installation is still pending. You have not indicated any timeline even after collecting 4 months of subscription fee.

Waiting!

@reliancejio @TRAI

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@JioCare Shared names and phone numbers over DM.

Will look forward to action taken report, and ensuring installation/activation of service.

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@RailwaySeva @drmcrngp Already shared PNR & phone. No real use. Only sending pre-prepared comments but no action taken report. The passengers continue to suffer.

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@RailwaySeva @BhopalDivision The situation continues to repeat! Waiting for last 30 minutes outside Nagpur Junction. Has railways forgotten how to manage train operations?

Train # 07076 running more than 12 hrs late now!

@drmcrngp @GM_CRly @RailMadad @RailMinIndia

[Prashanth Bachu @PrashanthBachu]

@RailwaySeva @BhopalDivision Train #07076 now again halted at Itarsi Jn since 30 min. Absolute disregard for passenger. Train now late by 750 min. Average speed less than 40 kmph. Shame on #IndianRailways.
