HYDERABAD: The incessant rains have caused damage to many roads stretches in Greater Hyderabad limits. As many as 987 stretches maintained by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and 236 stretches maintained by Hyderabad Road Development Corporation Limited (HRDCL) have been battered.
Besides road stretches, more than 5,000 potholes have formed in all parts of the city due to seepage of rainwater, causing inconvenience to motorists and citizens. The repair for the road damage is estimated to be around `50 crore. The GHMC will take up restoration work, once the rains cease.
In many parts of the city, bitumen material on roads getting peeled off is a common sight, leading to potholes with puddles of water. Motorists had bumpy rides, and some even slipped and fell down.
