Authorities have enforced restricted access in the Kancha Gachibowli area, effective Friday morning, following security and public safety assessments.
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Madhapur Zone, Cyberabad, Dr. Vineeth G, IPS, has issued a notification invoking powers under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), placing prohibitory orders across a 400-acre site. The area under restriction is linked to ongoing judicial scrutiny in two high-profile cases—Writ Petition (PIL) No. 30/2025 in the Telangana High Court and Suo Motu Writ Petition (Civil) No. 03/2025 pending before the Supreme Court of India.
The directive, which took effect at 6 a.m. on April 4, bars entry to individuals who do not possess legitimate or work-related reasons to be present within the designated site. The affected location falls under Sy. No. 25 of Kancha Gachibowli village and comes within the jurisdiction of Cyberabad Police Commissionerate.
Police clarified that the decision was taken to ensure public order, safeguard lives, and avoid disruptions in official proceedings. The order also aims to preempt possible incidents of unrest, obstruction to lawful duties, or group clashes.
