Hyderabad, Nov. 16 -- By Suman Rodrigues

Hyderabad: Hundreds of investments, thousands of buildings, lakhs of IT professionals - Hitech City, once a USD 350 million symbol of Telangana's tech-driven ambitions, now lies under a mountain-sized heap of construction debris, stretching across Deloitte Towers, IKEA Hyderabad, and Meenakshi Tech Park.

For IT employee Parth, his job is demanding and taxing. Hailing from Maharashtra, he was fascinated by videos of Hitech City and desired to work here. But now the impressions have worn down. "Whenever I look outside my office desk window to relax, I see this mountain, and it frustrates me," he said.
