Hyderabad: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation has decided to stop all road repair works under the periodical preventive maintenance (PPM) scheme after completing 22 works worth Rs 110 crore out of the 52 that were initially planned.
Termed as PPM, the work involves milling of the existing BT road, re-profiling and re-laying it. This is ideally done once in five years. However, all that GHMC has been able to do was mere patchwork at several stretches, which results in uneven bitumen pads in the middle of the road leading to bumpy rides. The civic body has been carrying out PPM on the roads which were laid a year agom some of which started before the GHMC elections in 2015.
