GMHC turns blind eye to conditions of flyovers
Sources reveal that even after a year is passed of the report on flyovers and bridges were submitted to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), the civic body has not yet taken up any initiative to address the repairs needed.
The condition of nearly 40 flyovers, rail over bridges (ROBs) and other bridges and suggested repairs were contained in the report.
However, since the repairs might incur cost of several crores of rupees, the corporation is hesitating to take up repairs.
The inventory reports revealed that many bridges had problems due to worn-out condition and attention is required like wearing coat joint, expansion joints (gap between two slabs), pedestals, bearing pads and hairline cracks on main girders.
The corporation has not shown any initiative even after a year has passed on and in regards to flyovers like Narayanguda , Narayanguda and Basheerbagh, the GHMC officials have maintained that since the flyovers were built by the urban authority they should take up repairs and the responsibility for them does not lie with the corporation.
