The survey, led by Warangal revenue divisional officer (RDO) A Satyapal Reddy and Fort Warangal tahsildar B Nageshwar Rao, met with strong resistance from the villagers who fear losing their primary road connectivity.

The expansion project threatens to cut off access to Nakkalapally, Gadipally, and Warangal city, leaving villagers concerned about their daily commute and livelihood. On learning of the survey, farmers and residents, including both men and women, rushed to the site to prevent the officials from proceeding.
