VIJAYAWADA: With the city witnessing moderate rainfall for the past few days, roads in various localities have become dotted with potholes, making it tough for pedestrians and motorists. Despite a number of accidents being reporting on such roads, Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) officials have not taken any steps so far to repair the damaged ones.
When TNIE carried out a ground-level inspection on Sunday, it found several potholes on the city roads especially at Suryaraopet, Moghalrajpuram, Gunadala, Satyanarayanapuram, Bhavanipuram, Patamata and Ajith Singh Nagar. In some areas, stone chips were found scattered on the roads, thereby increasing the risk of accidents. This has prompted commuters to express their ire against officials concerned, as every year a major chunk of the civic body’s funds is spent on road works.
