Hyderabad roads battered as rain wreaks havoc

HYDERABAD: Most of the roads in Hyderabad suffered heavy damage as the rains continued to batter the city. Roads which were not yet taken care of during the recent maintenance works have been dotted with potholes, and the asphalt on many newly-laid roads have washed away, exposing the gravel beneath.

Roads in Balanagar, Shaikpet, Bairamalguda, and several other areas where new flyovers are under construction, have gone from bad to worse. Potholes of various sizes can be observed at vital by-lanes, including the ones at Nallagandla, Tellapur, First Lancer, Boiguda Kaman, Mallepally, Mehdipatnam, Karwan, Attapur, Jiaguda, Purna Pul and many other parts of Old City. Some main roads at Pragati Nagar, Kukatpally, Gaganmahal Road in Domalguda, Himayatnagar and Boduppal are also pothole-ridden.
