Maddur homes fall; compensation remains a rumour
Demolitions linked to the Maddur–Chintaldinne road project continued amid police deployment and protests. Residents say compensation has not been announced; the government has not publicly explained the process in the available record.
Demolitions linked to the Maddur–Chintaldinne road project continued amid uncertainty over compensation and rehabilitation.
Homes and commercial establishments linked to the Maddur–Chintaldinne road-widening project were demolished in Maddur, Narayanpet district, on September 29 amid police deployment and protests, according to two reports. Residents said compensation had not been announced. The bulldozers, at least, appear to have received their instructions.
One report said 19 families were left without shelter. Another cited 60 families, while a separate account referred to 84 houses and shops. The available record does not explain the discrepancy, so none of those figures can be treated as settled. Residents also alleged that the widening would improve access to private land spread across 200 acres; that claim has not been independently established.
A July 2025 report recorded residents asking that the proposed road width be reduced from 70 feet to 30 feet. BRS leaders, including former MLA Patnam Narender Reddy, protested at the site, according to the reports. The Telangana government has not publicly set out, in the material available, the project’s sanctioned width, notices, compensation process or rehabilitation plan. For a road project, the asphalt is apparently better documented than the people being moved for it.
