Hyderabad: Narrow roadways, regular power-cuts screening Nizampet citizens’ perseverance

Hyderabad: Residents of Nizampet are facing poor slim roadways at Pragathi Nagar bridge. Frequent power-cuts are creating challenges to the citizens.

Vexed with bad problem of roadways, netizens as well as a couple of social lobbyists occupied the problem on Twitter as well as asked for the Nizampet municipal corporation to fix this long-pending problem.

Locals affirm that the Pragathi Nagar bridge effects lakhs of travelers. They have actually regularly seen a massive growth in the heavy traffic as it is fairly hard for suburbanites to layer. The primary factor is that the bridge is slim. Adding gas to the fire are regular power-cuts.

Srinivas Bellam of Pragathi Nagar stated, “The locals and commuters are facing a nightmarish experience to travel from the bridge. Daily we are finding it difficult to travel, as lanes are full of potholes. The roads are narrow. Another concern is a few days back tree branches were cut by Transco. The branches were not cleared. Due to that commuters are facing hardships to travel.

We are fed up of complaining to the Nizampet Municipal Corporation regarding re-carpeting and widening roads. These roads have become a death trap and causing grievous injuries to road-users. But the concerned officers are not bothered, as whenever we complain to civic body officials, they only give us false hopes.”

Pointed out Sai Teja, an additional local, “We the locals of Nizampet are facing hardships due to narrow and bad roads. For the past few weeks frequent power cuts in a single day are testing our patience. If this continues for some more days, it will damage our home appliances. Also, a few IT employees are working from home. With frequent power-cuts we are facing hardships. Many times, we have lodged complaints but all fell on deaf ears.”

Another regional stated, “The bridge road is narrow.

We are unable to travel on it. Many times, we represented for widening of roads. Even after complaining none turned up to rectify the issue. Officials are only giving false promises.”
