Metro work debris makes driving in Hyderabad a nightmare

Hyderabad Metro Rail, delays on road repairs and removal of debris continue to give commuters a tough time every day.

Be it Sultan Bazaar to Badi Chowdi stretch in Old City or Erragadda ESI, tonnes of debris are yet to be cleared.The scenario is same on Somajiguda stretch, where road widening is still underway.

Currently only Sultan Bazaar to Badichowdi stretch is undergoing road widening work, but the work is half completed due to pending acquisition. The



delay in acquisitions has not only kept traders from shifting to the rehabilitation complex but has also delayed road repair work further. "This stretch of road at Badi Chowdi has been damaged for more than eight months now and authorities have told us they won't lay roads before the entire work is completed. When all shop keepers have voluntarily given their consent for dismantling, then why are authorities so slow ? We are forced to put up with the shabby condition of roads here," said Bismillah Khan, a trader.
