These pothole-ridden roads pose risk of accidents to the motorists. Though the residents have given several complaints to the officials no one has turned up look into the issue.

Besides posing risks, the damaged roads are causing heavy traffic jams in the areas. Residents from Gachibowli alleged that “We have become used to these roads and traffic, since the works of laying of new roads have begun some have turned to bumpy roads and no official is to check this issue.

There are numerous water logging points and large potholes have formed as a result of the recent rains.

Many residents took to twitter to complain about the pathetic situation of the road.
