The Bathukamma pits constructed by the government in Serilingampally with an expenditure of over one lakh rupees are turning into dump yards. Ganesh immersions performed in the pits have polluted the water. Some pits have been completed, while others are still under construction.
Serilingampally: The Bathukamma pits constructed by the government in Serilingampally with an expenditure of over one lakh rupees are turning into dump yards. Ganesh immersions performed in the pits have polluted the water. Some pits have been completed, while others are still under construction.
The pit in the Chandanagar Circle is being completed with glass fencing by the GHMC, but the waste that has accumulated with the Ganesh idols has polluted the water in the pit. The pit that is being constructed in Hafizpet has not been completed yet. With the lack of proper response and apathy from higher authorities, the pit has turned the place into a drain.
The footpath in Madhapur is constructed with cheap quality material, and it has resulted in the breakage of tiles. The footpath constructed in Ayyappa Society is being used as a parking space due to which the pavilions are facing problems.
