GHMC always claims immediate action following any complaint. But not always does the civic body carry out its duty on time. There are several areas and occasions during which the civic body barely cares about the inconvenience caused to people. Due to their apathy, some techie social activists took up the job of removing gravel and spreading out sand on the Nizampet and Bachupally link road during this weekend.
The commuters allege that despite several complaints to the concerned authorities, nothing has been done so far. The road has been filled with gravel and sand for a long time now, and people were meeting with accidents due to this. There are many cases of skidding, and some even proved fatal. Obviously, the commuters and residents in the surrounding areas were concerned but were able to do little.
However, despite repeated complaints, Nizampet municipality did little to address the issue. So, the local techies took it upon themselves to clean the road of gravel, which was the cause of skidding, and piles of sand lying on the road were also taken care of. One techie narrated how people had harrowing experiences due to loose gravel.
The techies say that shamed by their involvement; the Nizampet municipality should at least react and take up road repair work at the earliest.
