Goshamahal Road cave-in disrupts traffic; GHMC Mayor orders urgent tender for repairs

On January 28, 2025, a section of the road between Goshamahal and Darussalam in Hyderabad caved in, causing damage to vehicles and disrupting traffic. Though no casualties were reported, the incident highlighted ongoing concerns about the area's deteriorating infrastructure. Local residents blame the collapse on the improper management of a nearby nala and the impact of heavy vehicles on the road. Mayor Vijayalaxmi Gadwal visited the site and assured the public that repair work would be expedited. She also stated that tenders for the repairs would be invited within a day. This incident is not the first of its kind in the area. Similar road collapses have occurred previously, including a crusher lorry getting trapped in January 2025. The ongoing nala construction, which is only 50% complete despite its extended duration, is a major concern for residents. They fear that the unfinished nala poses a serious risk to vehicles, especially school buses. Residents have repeatedly raised concerns with officials regarding the infrastructure issues, but progress has been slow. They have threatened to protest if the authorities fail to address the problems promptly.

Local residents, however, raised concerns, claiming that similar incidents of road collapses have occurred in the area before. They cited the improper management of a nearby nala and the impact of heavy vehicles on the road as contributing factors to the deteriorating condition.

Mayor Gadwal took to her official 'X' (formerly Twitter), saying, "Inspected the incident site where Goshamahal Nala road collapsed along with Zonal Commissioner Anurag. For a permanent solution, I have instructed officials to prepare proposals tomorrow and to call for a one-day tender to complete the work immediately."

This is not the first such incident in the area. On January 10, 2025, a crusher lorry was trapped when a section of the Chaknavadi Nala road in Goshamahal collapsed. The driver escaped uninjured, but the collapse highlighted ongoing concerns about the area’s infrastructure.

Residents expressed frustration over the authorities' lack of action to address the issues with the nala. Despite being under construction for an extended period, only 50 percent of the 800-meter nala work has been completed. Locals have repeatedly raised concerns with officials, but progress has been slow. "The unfinished nala poses a serious risk, especially for school buses and other vehicles," said one resident.

Earlier, on October 23, 2024, another section of the road near Chaknavadi collapsed in the early hours, causing panic among commuters. Residents have warned they will protest if the authorities fail to address the ongoing infrastructure issues promptly.
