Nizampet-Miyapur-Bachupally road in need of urgent repair
K.P. Vivekananda, MLA, Qutubullahpur told the House that Telangana people were scared to travel on the NizampetMiyapur-Bachupally road as it was full of potholes, and scores of people had sustained injuries.
He said that while some portions of the road come under the GHMC’s jurisdiction, remaining comes under the purview of roads and buildings department, and both bodies have not taken up repairs.
Mr Vivekananda urged the R&B and municipal administration ministers to initiate repairs, else he warned, people of his constituency would start agitating against him and the TRS.
It was not an isolated day for the TRS government to face flak from its own legislators. A day prior, ruling party MLAs raised their voices over bad condition of roads in their constituencies during Zero Hour.
S. Ravi Shankar, MLA, Choppadandi, brought the notice of the government that people dreaded travelling on the road from Bowenpally to Kodurupaka, in the erstwhile Karimnagar district, because of its condition.
Pilot Rohit Reddy, MLA, Tandur said that everyday around 5,000 trucks carrying granite ply on the Tandur road to Hyderabad and Karnataka. Due to these heavy trucks, the road was severely damaged, and authorities not even bothering to take up repairs, said the MLA who had defected from the Congress to the TRS several months ago.
Dr M. Anand, MLA, Vikarabad, said railway overbridge (ROB) at Vikarabad was in a dilapidated condition and could collapse any time.
