Hyderabad: Residents worried over frequent accidents near Jawaharnagar dumpyard

Residents allege that the leachate and other chemicals from the lake adjacent to the dumpyard were overflowing onto the road making the road muddy and causing accidents

Hyderabad: Frequent accidents on the Dental College – CRPF Road near the Jawaharnagar dumpyard in the early mornings are worrying residents in the area.

According to locals, several vehicles, especially two-wheelers were losing control and slipping on the road due to slippery road conditions. Some vehicles were skidding off the road due to the sharp curve near the dumpyard and also due to overspeeding.

Residents allege that the leachate and other chemicals from the lake adjacent to the dumpyard were overflowing onto the road. As a result, the road had turned muddy and slushy. On Wednesday, a car and an auto-rickshaw slipped off the road surface and crashed into the heaps of mud adjacent to the road. Residents fume that the situation was prevailing since the last few days and that Jawaharnagar Municipal Corporation officials were not addressing the issue.

On the contrary, Corporation officials informed that road works were being taken up across the Corporation limits after the heavy rains in October.

This apart, the exercise to construct a bund around the Dammaiguda lake was being planned in association with the Irrigation department. Tenders were being called for the work, said a senior official from the Corporation.

Regarding leachate overflowing from the lake, the official said the matter would be taken up with the GHMC and addressed at the earliest.
