Overflowing drains irk commuters

HYDERABAD: Overflowing drains and slow pace of flyover works between Kondapur and Kothaguda have become hindrances for motorists and shopkeepers in the area.

Those travelling towards Hafeezpet and Miyapur have to navigate through roads with overflowing drain water. Those moving towards Hi-tech city, Kothaguda, and Gachibowli too have to face a similar problem while also having to take alternative, longer routes due to road closures.

“It takes quite a while to reach Gachibowli owing to closure. Authorities should complete the work as early as possible to ensure smooth passage of traffic,’’ said Vinay who uses the route on a regular basis. Shopkeepers from Kondapur told TOI that several complaints have been lodged but no corrective steps have been taken to address the issue of overflowing drain. “There seems to be no permanent solution planned. The overflowing drain water deters customers too,’’ Balram, a shopkeeper in the area, told TOI.
