The Hyderabad traffic police have issued a detailed advisory for commuters ahead of the Telangana Global Rising Summit 2047, scheduled to be held on December 8 and 9. Authorities have warned of significant traffic congestion around ORR Exit 15 at Pedda Golconda due to heightened security arrangements and the movement of VVIP convoys during the two-day event.

According to officials, traffic flow in and around Pedda Golconda is expected to slow considerably, with possible temporary restrictions and diversions throughout the summit. The advisory urges motorists to avoid the stretch near ORR Exit 15 during restricted hours and instead opt for alternate routes to ensure smoother and safer travel. Residents and daily commuters have been asked to plan their journeys well in advance to avoid delays caused by security-related roadblocks and convoy movements.

To manage the expected surge in traffic and prevent bottlenecks, signboards will be installed at key junctions, and additional police personnel will be deployed on the ground. Traffic officers will be tasked with regulating vehicle movement and guiding motorists through diversions and alternate corridors. Commuters have been urged to strictly follow traffic instructions and cooperate with authorities to minimise disruption and ensure public safety during the high-profile summit.

Meanwhile, in a separate development highlighting the significance of diplomatic venues in India’s capital, Russian President Vladimir Putin was hosted at Hyderabad House, one of New Delhi’s most distinguished and historically significant official residences. Located near India Gate, Hyderabad House is widely known for hosting major state visits, strategic meetings, and official banquets involving world leaders.

Hyderabad House traces its origins to 1926, when Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad and once considered among the richest individuals in the world, purchased more than eight acres of land in the national capital. The acquisition was driven by practical and political needs. As a member of the Chamber of Princes, the Nizam required a permanent and stately residence in Delhi to attend meetings convened by British authorities.

The area surrounding Hyderabad House was developed as a prestigious enclave for princely states of British India. Several royal families constructed similar residences nearby, including Baroda House, Bikaner House, and Patiala House. Over time, these historic buildings evolved from princely residences into important administrative and diplomatic landmarks, forming a legacy that continues to define the ceremonial and political landscape of India’s capital today.
