Old Bowenpally Division: Roads, sewerage woes persist

Hyderabad: Old Bowenpally-119 which comes under Kukatpally circle is one of the emerging suburbs and has well-developed residential colonies in Secunderabad, with a total number of 57,233 voters.

There are few minor problems that need to be resolved in this area. In a few localities, roads are not well-maintained. Following recent heavy rains, some of the roads damaged and also the sewerage system needs to be re-modified and it demands attention of the authorities.

"The roads are in good condition in most of the areas, but recent rains played the spoilsport and damaged roads in some areas. We can see the damaged roads due to the recent rains and commuters face problems while plying in these localities and these roads need to be paved well again and the authorities should ensure that there is no more water stagnation in our area", said Vinay resident of Maruthi nagar.

"Most of the problems are solved in this area by the current Corporator, when compared to earlier one. The roads are in good condition and also the sewerage is far better. The corporator always remains available to us 24/7 and picks up the call," said Javid, a resident of Old Bowenpally.

According to locals, for the last two terms people have been electing M Narsimha Yadav as the corporator as he is winning the hearts of the people with his work. Rahul, who is residing near Dubai Gate, said, "In this area due to the heavy rains these roads got damaged and people are facing problems due to it and it would be good if the roads are re-laid again".

"A few days back road was dug up here, as part of some civic work. But the contractor left it without re-laying the road. Owing this, several accidents took place and this spot has turned hazardous to commuters" said, Shanthi resident of Liones stone colony.

"Due to the recent floods, our house got damaged and we did not get the amount of Rs 10,000. Also the Hasmathpet lake is not well-maintained and there we can witness huge piles of garbage on the banks of lake," said Shailesh, a resident near Hasmathpet lake.
