HYDERABAD: Poor restore paintings by means of contractors and GHMC engineers have resulted in water going online a couple of flyovers within the town, every time it rains. While executing road recovery paintings, contractors had laid bitumen even on the outlets used to empty out water. On Saturday, water exits on several town flyovers remained closed, with commuters being forced to wade through water logged roads after Friday’s downpour.
The flyovers that steadily face this downside include, the Telugu Thalli flyover, Basheerbagh flyover, Gachibowli flyover and Panjagutta flyover.
Besides causing inconvenience to commuters, the stagnant water can also harm the flyovers. S P Anchuri, vice chairman (south) of the structural engineers global congress mentioned, “even the most productive high quality bitumen will also be destroyed due to stagnant water.”
Moreover, the mud amassed at the water go out points is any other supply of risk. The sweepers steadily push the mud to the corners of the flyover the place the water go out grills are situated, thus barring the water from draining out.
Commuters who incessantly use the Punjagutta and Gachibowli flyovers mentioned that the city flyovers are unable to withstand even transient showers. Prateek Kothari, a commuter who incessantly takes the Punjagutta flyover mentioned, “a short spell of rain on Friday night time waterlogged the flyover, and all over a heavy downpour it’s even worse.”
GHMC officers mentioned that bitumen is being laid on water go out points of several flyovers.
We got rid of the blockages from the Punjagutta flyover soon after the weathermen predicted rains. We have pressed the sanitation staff into service to clear the mud close to the outlets. Blockages on other flyovers can also be cleared,” mentioned GHMC Khairatabad Zone Commissioner Musharaf Ali.
Meanwhile, Ridhima V, an activist, known as for blacklisting contractors who resort to such shoddy restore works.
