Hyderabad Rains, battered roads in city turn hazardous for commuters

The continuous rains in the city have left the roads battered, causing severe hardships to commuters.

One of the worst affected commuting spot is the Uppal road stretch in the east of the city. With flyover construction going on, a good portion of the carriage way is reduced to a dirt patch with road users facing tough moments negotiating their way through. The road stretch can be seen dotted with big



potholes.

“When it rains, the uneven road surface comes under a sheet of water and motorists fail to safely negotiate through it,” said S Dileep, a resident of Nagole. The road users want the authorities to immediately take up quality patch work so that it would last through the rainy season.

In the south of the city, the conditions of the road stretch between Nehru Zoological Park and Aramgarh have worsened following the rains during the last fortnight.
