Open manhole right opposite school

Rahmat Nagar: We have seen galore of manholes needing repairs and people tripping or falling is a common occurrence for Hyderabadis. Many manholes have sucked in citizens snuffing out lives of innocents. But the height of authorities’ apathy is an open manhole right opposite a school and in the centre of a road in Bandapalli Chandramma area. 

The manhole is without a cover and a student or child can easily fall into it. According to the locals, already about two to three children trip and fall daily at the open manhole. Some children are also injured due to falling. Also, the manhole is posing serious risks to motorists. It must be noted that during night times and in rains the chances of someone meeting with serious accident is high. The locals alleged that in spite of several complaints, the civic authorities were turning a blind eye to the issue.
