Hyderabad Residents frustrated with delay in Civic Body works
Residents in Hyderabad are at loss after the sheer inability of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to finish the underground tunneling of the storm water drain at Model House, GVK Mall on Road No.1, Mythrivanam in Ameerpet and at Banjara Hills. The tunneling work had began some ten months ago but is yet to be completed. The in-completion of the project is mainly because of the lack of cooperation between the GHMC and Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB). The authorities have planned various works in the zone however are unable to carry out the project as there is no coordination between them.
The citizens are disgusted with this issue since there is no relief from the unfinished construction works. The unfinished works caused major problems like water logging. In Model road many drains are left open which are posing a constant threat to the passerby’s. Officials have cited that the work in Banjara Hills could not be carried out at the desired pace because of the hilly terrain. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is also carrying out shifting of cables and pipelines in the area. Works also had to be stopped because of the onset of monsoon in the city.
