History
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". According to locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from chikkad, meaning mud, and -pally (originally palle, పల్లె in Telugu) meaning place or hamlet. Since Chikkadpally is in a low-lying area, it is usually plagued by chikkad due to inflow of drain water.[1] According to some other locals, Chikkadpally derives its name from cheekatipally (place/hamlet of shadows).
