Dodging potholes on poorly laid roads

Tukaram Gate: Driving across Tukaram Gate is turning into a nerve-racking experience for motorists as they have to dodge potholes and manoeuvre past poorly resurfaced roads that cause damage to tyres and rims. Motorcyclists find it dangerous to navigate on the roads as the roads are a patchwork of crumbling asphalt and ever-widening potholes that can cause them to fall off their vehicles.

Shamsul Ibrahim, a delivery guy for a fast food eatery, said he was on a delivery job when he hit a pothole three months ago at the intersection and was thrown off his bike. Luckily he walked off with minor injuries. In another instance, Shekhar who was on his way with his wife from Marepally to Malkajgiri came over a rough patch and both fell off, suffering injuries.
