Moving from Bengaluru to Hyderabad Costs ₹3.6 Lakh, Says Microsoft Techie

Relocating to a new city is not just about shifting luggage — setting up a new home, paying rent, deposits, buying furniture, appliances, and daily essentials can become a major expense. A Microsoft employee’s relocation story has sparked discussions online after revealing the cost of starting a new life in Hyderabad.

Digital content creator Krish, who mentions that he works at Microsoft, shared his relocation journey from Bengaluru to Hyderabad and revealed that it cost him around ₹3.6 lakh to set up a new home.

The couple already owned a house in Bengaluru, but due to a work-related move, they had to start fresh in Hyderabad with a rented apartment. Krish also shared that his wife left her job in Bengaluru to relocate with him and begin a new chapter together.

According to Krish’s breakdown:

🏠 2 BHK Apartment Rent: ₹30,000 per month
🔐 Security Deposit: ₹60,000
🛋️ Furniture & Home Setup: Major portion of the expenses
⚡ Appliances & Household Essentials: Additional costs

The couple rented a 2 BHK apartment in Manikonda, Hyderabad, and purchased everything needed to make their new house comfortable — from furniture and appliances to everyday household items.

The post received a lot of attention on social media, with users sharing their own relocation experiences and asking about rental prices, preferred areas, and the cost of living in Hyderabad.

As Hyderabad continues to grow as a major IT hub, thousands of professionals are moving to the city for better career opportunities. However, this experience highlights how much financial planning is required to settle into a new city and create a home from scratch.

Hyderabad Officials Push for 16 TMC Storage in Singur to Safeguard Next Summer’s Water Supply

Hyderabad: Telangana officials have proposed maintaining at least 16 TMC ft of water in the Singur Reservoir to ensure uninterrupted drinking water supply for Hyderabad during the summer of 2027. The recommendation was made during a high-level review meeting chaired by Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan, where officials assessed reservoir storage levels, monsoon inflows, and future water demand across Hyderabad and other urban areas.

The meeting was attended by senior officials from the Irrigation Department, Mission Bhagiratha, Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB), and HYDRAA.

HMWS&SB Managing Director Ashok Reddy informed the meeting that Hyderabad’s drinking water needs could be met through supplies from the Krishna River, Osmansagar, and Himayatsagar reservoirs until the end of June 2027. However, water available from the Manjira and Singur reservoirs, along with existing Godavari supplies, is expected to last only until September 30, 2026, making adequate storage in Singur essential for long-term water security.

Mission Bhagiratha Engineer-in-Chief K. Kripakar Reddy stated that the current water availability in the Singur catchment area would sustain supplies for only around 45 more days under prevailing conditions.

To strengthen the city’s water supply, officials decided to complete four kilometres of pending pipeline work to bring additional Godavari water to Mission Bhagiratha within 40 days. The project, estimated to cost ₹3 crore, is expected to add 40 million gallons per day (MGD) to the existing supply network upon completion.

During the review, officials also directed departments dependent on Singur waters to prepare contingency plans to prevent shortages. Jayesh Ranjan instructed departments to improve groundwater recharge by constructing rainwater harvesting structures near borewells and asked agencies to develop emergency strategies for diverting water from alternative sources if required.

The review reflects the Telangana government’s proactive efforts to strengthen Hyderabad’s water security and ensure reliable drinking water availability despite fluctuating reservoir levels and seasonal challenges.

Hyderabad Marks International Day of Yoga with Citywide Sessions Promoting Health and Harmony

Hyderabad, June 21, 2026: Hyderabad observed the International Day of Yoga with enthusiastic participation across the city as thousands gathered at parks, public venues, institutions, and community spaces for yoga sessions and wellness activities. The celebrations began under cloudy skies, highlighting the growing popularity of yoga as a holistic approach to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

At Lok Bhavan, Telangana Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla joined officers and staff of Raj Bhavan in a yoga session led by instructors from The Art of Living. Addressing the gathering, the Governor described yoga as a timeless gift from India to humanity and a powerful tool for achieving holistic wellness.

He emphasized that yoga strengthens physical health, enhances mental resilience, and promotes spiritual balance. Calling yoga a symbol of India’s eternal wisdom, he said it has grown into a global movement that encourages health, harmony, and well-being. The Governor urged citizens to move beyond celebrating yoga as an annual event and instead embrace it as a lifelong practice.

Meanwhile, Telangana Health Minister C. Damodar Raja Narasimha participated in the International Day of Yoga celebrations at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. Joining yoga instructors and participants, the Minister described yoga as one of India’s greatest contributions to the world.

He encouraged people to incorporate yoga into their daily routines and stated that the Telangana government is actively promoting awareness about its health benefits. He noted that yoga is being introduced in educational institutions from schools to colleges, while the State’s AYUSH Department continues to expand yoga training initiatives as part of its vision to build a healthier Telangana.

Another major yoga event was held at Sri Lakshmi Sai Gardens in Malkajgiri, where more than 250 participants gathered under the guidance of Madhava Murthy Guruji, founder of Divine Yoga. The event also saw participation from a delegation of employees from The Hindu.

During his address, Madhava Murthy Guruji emphasized the importance of reconnecting with India’s cultural roots through yoga. He encouraged practitioners to understand the deeper cultural and spiritual significance of yoga rather than viewing it solely as a form of physical exercise, highlighting its role in preserving India’s ancient traditions while fostering personal well-being.

The citywide celebrations reflected Hyderabad’s growing commitment to wellness, with yoga serving as a bridge between India’s rich cultural heritage and modern approaches to healthy living.

Be Alert Until Marriage: Hyderabad CP Sajjanar Warns Women Against Marriage Frauds

Hyderabad Police Commissioner Sajjanar has issued a strong warning to women to remain cautious until they get married, amid rising cases of marriage-related frauds in the city.

He stated that fraudsters are increasingly targeting women under the pretext of marriage, not only in love marriages but also in arranged alliances finalized by families. According to him, several complaints related to such incidents have recently been received by the police.

The accused often follow traditional customs like bride-viewing ceremonies and engagements to gain trust. Once the marriage is considered confirmed, they emotionally manipulate the women, coerce them into physical relationships, and later reveal their true intentions.

After fulfilling their demands, the fraudsters allegedly demand large sums of money or additional dowry, threatening to cancel the marriage if their demands are not met. Fear of social stigma and loss of reputation after engagement often prevents victims and their families from coming forward, which the offenders exploit further.

Commissioner Sajjanar urged women not to blindly trust even arranged proposals and advised them to carefully observe the groom’s behavior, habits, and social circle. He emphasized that any pressure for physical intimacy or private meetings before marriage should be treated as a serious red flag.

He assured that victims should not fear blackmail or monetary demands and must report such cases immediately. The identity of complainants will be kept strictly confidential.

Women facing such issues can contact Hyderabad SHE Teams via WhatsApp at 9490616555 or call Dial 100 for immediate assistance.

పెళ్లి పేరుతో జరుగుతున్న మోసాలపై యువతులు అప్రమత్తంగా ఉండాలని హైదరాబాద్ పోలీస్ కమిషనర్ సజ్జనార్ హెచ్చరించారు. ప్రస్తుతం అమ్మాయిలనే టార్గెట్‌గా చేసుకుని కొందరు కేటుగాళ్లు పక్కా ప్లాన్‌తో మోసాలకు పాల్పడుతున్నారని తెలిపారు.

ప్రేమ పెళ్లిళ్లే కాకుండా పెద్దలు కుదిర్చిన వివాహాల మాటున కూడా మోసాలు జరుగుతున్నాయని ఆయన ఆందోళన వ్యక్తం చేశారు. పెళ్లి చూపులు, నిశ్చితార్థం పూర్తయ్యాక పెళ్లి ఖాయమైందన్న చనువుతో యువతులకు దగ్గరవుతున్నారని, ఆ తర్వాత ఎమోషనల్ బ్లాక్‌మెయిల్ చేసి శారీరకంగా లోబరుచుకుంటున్నారని వెల్లడించారు.

తీరా తమ ఉద్దేశం నెరవేరిన తర్వాత భారీగా డబ్బులు డిమాండ్ చేయడం, అదనపు కట్నం ఇవ్వకపోతే పెళ్లి రద్దు చేస్తామని బెదిరింపులకు దిగుతున్నారని తెలిపారు. నిశ్చితార్థం జరిగిపోయి సమాజానికి విషయం తెలిసిపోవడంతో పరువు పోతుందనే భయంతో చాలా మంది ఫిర్యాదు చేయడానికి వెనుకాడుతున్నారని, ఇదే మోసగాళ్లకు అవకాశంగా మారుతోందని సజ్జనార్ పేర్కొన్నారు.

డబ్బు డిమాండ్ చేసినా, బ్లాక్‌మెయిల్ చేసినా భయపడవద్దని, వెంటనే ఫిర్యాదు చేయాలని ఆయన పిలుపునిచ్చారు. ఇలాంటి ఘటనల్లో బాధితుల వివరాలు పూర్తిగా గోప్యంగా ఉంచుతామని భరోసా ఇచ్చారు.

GHMC to Be Split Into Three Civic Bodies: Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Malkajgiri 31 December 2025

The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), currently India’s largest civic body, is set to be trifurcated into three separate municipal corporations — Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri — as part of a major administrative reorganisation planned by the Telangana government.

According to government sources, an official announcement is likely after the current GHMC Council’s term ends on February 10, 2026. More details are expected to emerge during the Telangana Assembly session scheduled for January 2026.

Why the GHMC Is Being Reorganised

Over the years, GHMC’s jurisdiction has expanded significantly. The civic body now covers 2,053 square kilometres, following the merger of 27 urban local bodies located within or around the Outer Ring Road (ORR). This expansion transformed GHMC into a massive administrative unit, raising concerns over efficiency and governance.

Currently, GHMC is divided into:

  • 12 zones
  • 60 circles
  • 300 wards

Before the expansion, the erstwhile GHMC covered just 650 sq. km, with 30 circles and 150 wards.

Proposed Ward Distribution

The state government is reportedly considering two possible models for dividing the wards among the three new municipal corporations:

  1. Hyderabad: 150 wards
    Cyberabad: 75 wards
    Malkajgiri: 75 wards

OR

  1. Equal distribution:
    • Hyderabad: 100 wards
    • Cyberabad: 100 wards
    • Malkajgiri: 100 wards

A final decision is expected closer to the announcement date.

Impact on Urban Governance

The proposed trifurcation aims to:

  • Improve administrative efficiency
  • Ensure better civic service delivery
  • Enable focused urban planning for different regions

If implemented, GHMC will lose its status as the country’s largest municipal corporation, marking a significant shift in Hyderabad’s urban governance structure.
