Despite two months of relentless rains wreaking havoc on Telangana’s roads and culverts, the state government has yet to initiate meaningful repair work. With contractor dues exceeding Rs 1,400 crore and poor tender response, the Roads and Buildings Department struggles to restore connectivity.
BRS leader KT Rama Rao criticised the Telangana government for its inadequate response to the severe floods affecting multiple districts. With hundreds of villages marooned and vital infrastructure damaged, he called for immediate deployment of NDRF and SDRF units, setting up relief camps, and urgent repair of roads and communication lines.
Bhadrachalam Town Sub-Inspector Vijayalakshmi, who noticed the pothole and the danger it was causing to bike riders and other vehicles, then decided to fill the pothole.
The monsoon travails of the motorists got aggravated in several parts of the city with the struggle to negotiate through the potholed road stretches, muddy surfaces at some places, to reach their destinations.
