HYDERABAD: After first few spells of monsoon rain displaced the tiles laid around the iconic monument Charminar, permitting water to seep through it, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) mentioned they're going to perform restore works on conflict footing to thwart the specter of bandicoot rats.
For the past few months, works on the Charminar Pedestrianisation Project (CPP) was once going on at a brisk tempo. However, moved quickly work at some areas resulted in dislodging of the tiles, as reported through TOI not too long ago.
“We must have long gone for CC bedding beneath the tiles. There is a chance that rodents have dug into tiles. If the rodents continue to dig tiles, we need to perform restore
works every time,” GHMC commissioner Janardhan Reddy informed STOI.
Meanwhile, shopkeepers complained of water stagnation around the historic monument. “Water is stagnated right in entrance of Charminar. No buyer is visiting our store as how to the shop is totally blocked. The government broke the pavement, announcing the tiles will upload attraction to the realm, but they clearly did not do a correct work,” mentioned Hamed, a shopkeeper.
Hamed added, “The street in entrance of my store has turned into a pool. It looks as if the government have no longer used cement, instead simply put some roughly powder and glued the tiles.”
“It has become not possible to stroll in that space because of water stagnation. The stagnated water is not even shallow sufficient to stroll. We have to stroll through knee deep water,” mentioned Khader Pasha, a resident. He added that despite the fact that the level of stagnated water has long gone down as there was much less rain in the fresh days, but the odour of stagnated water has made it tough for people to pass through that space.
When contacted, GHMC officials mentioned they have installed a brand new drainage gadget in the space all through CPP works. “Soon after the rain, we had allotted sweepers to push down excess water in the drains and transparent the realm,” mentioned Prakash, manager of Charminar space, GHMC.
The CPP works started after a long gap of a number of years. Earlier the stone tiles had been laid on four aspects of Charminar but this time around, the tiles are being laid best around the structure.
