A man lay down on the road at Gowliguda bus stand in Hyderabad to protest worsening road conditions and potholes. Residents say recent rains have damaged several stretches, with two-wheeler riders facing risks and commuters demanding permanent repairs from the GHMC.
The Malkajgiri Municipal Corporation has identified 171 pothole or damaged-road spots and 24 locations for free-left turns to ease traffic congestion. Officials also identified 188 waterlogging points, with permanent solutions needed at 90 locations.
Rain-damaged roads and waterlogged potholes have made commuting hazardous across Hyderabad's northeastern colonies, including Sainikpuri, Neredmet and Yapral. Residents say temporary repairs are ineffective and have urged authorities to undertake emergency road restoration and desilting of clogged catch pits.
