Bad roads breaking our backs, rue locals

Kapra: The pitiable condition of roads in Shalivahana Enclave, Yellareddyguda, has robbed the sheen of festival in their residential areas. Pedestrians and commuters are forced to travel on the roads resembling dust bowls; the locals accuse the GHMC authorities for their sheer negligence of this issue.

Speaking to the Hans India here on Saturday, a local resident shared, "The roads in this colony are in a very bad condition with full of potholes and ditches. During monsoon season these potholes/ditches get filled with rainwater and pose a life threat to several people. Women, children, and senior citizens are the most badly affected since they cannot make out the ditch during monsoon rains."

He said in the absence of the top cover, the metal gravel was completely visible and makes two wheels riding very difficult. Though several representations were made in this regard to GHMC no action has been taken till date. "God forbid before any unwanted incident takes place, we request the GHMC to kindly take up the road repairs immediately," he added.
