Rain-damaged roads cry for attention in Mahbubnagar

MAHABUBNAGAR: The incessant monsoon rains that battered erstwhile Mahbubnagar district during the months of August and September have left several major and minor roads in a deplorable state, putting the commuters in dire straits. Most roads in the erstwhile district have turned into rivers, making transportation along them a herculean task.

Though the Roads and Buildings Department officials carried out a survey to assess the situation, after which they submitted a proposal to higher-ups requesting permission to take up road repair works for an estimated cost of Rs 48.22 crore, the authorities concerned have not released any funds to this regard yet.
