Before we used to get water supply for hours together, and now only for one hour we get water if we are lucky. We have to literally call the tanker 4 times a week because we stay in an apartment and we run out water extremely quickly. We understand that in the summer it might be a little hard to deal with the situation but during monsoon months like July, still the situation has not improved. It is not as big a problem as it was 2 years ago, but every now and then we wake up to days having absolutely no water.

The government has basically halted the Krishna drinking water phase III project and hasn't allocated funds for Godavari water supply project. Because of this there have been water supply fluctuations all over the city. This is something that the CM must handle immediately because it is causing quite a burden for those who need to pay a lot of money for outside sources of water. Along with water problem, residents are also facing many power cuts. the 'Dial a tanker' number never seems to work and even tankers seem to have a lack of water.

Travelling from Somajigadu to Hitech city is a big pain because of the traffic problems. Also the silt that was supposed to be cleaned up ages ago from the drains, still hasn't been done and hence drains are still blocked. Water problem is also there in this area. Sometimes residents don't get water for about 5 to 7 days, where they have to resort to getting water from tankers. These are regular issues of the area that still have not been solved.

Somajiguda is a place having lots of commercial spaces. It is closeby to areas like Secunderabad, Himayat Nagar, Ameerpet and Banjara Hills. Because of this many peoples are relocating to Somajigda and this is putting lot of strains on the existing resources and facilities. Roads are not that great and traffic congestion is always there. Drainage has seeped onto the road once or twice before. But still it is a very good locality that is doing quite well real estate wise.
