The NHRC has directed Telangana authorities to improve zebra crossings at key Hyderabad junctions within eight weeks, following a petition citing pedestrian safety concerns. The move highlights the need to ensure safer road crossings and uphold the right to life.
Several major junctions in Hyderabad, including KBR Park and Jubilee Hills Check Post, lack zebra crossings, making road crossing unsafe during peak hours. Commuters have urged GHMC to prioritise road safety by repainting and maintaining pedestrian markings, especially after heavy rains fade them.
