Residents of Shaikpet and Puppalguda demand immediate road repairs

Hyderabad: Residents of Golkonda and Shaikpet are facing significant difficulties due to the poor condition of the roads in these areas. They have called on the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to take immediate action and repair the roads to prevent further inconvenience.

Speaking with Hyderabad Mail, local resident K. Badari Nath highlighted the dangerous conditions, particularly in the Golkonda and Shaikpet areas. He pointed out that the road connecting Golkonda to Alkapur Township is in a particularly bad state, with no repairs being made. "The road has become a dumping ground for local shops and restaurants, which is causing unhygienic conditions and increasing health risks," said Badari Nath.

He also expressed concerns about the many unnecessary speed breakers between Shaikpet and Puppalguda. "These speed breakers are causing health issues and frequent damage to vehicles," he added.

The situation is made worse by large potholes in the Shaikpet to Puppalguda stretch. Vehicles skidding due to these potholes is a frequent occurrence, and newcomers to the area are at a higher risk of accidents, according to residents.

The local community has urged the GHMC to address these issues promptly to ensure the safety and well-being of residents and travelers.
