Tirupati: Roads in temple town get damaged due to recent rains
Two-wheeler riders face hardships while commuting on the roads.
Municipal and R & B officials fail to take up timely action to repair the roads, people complain.
Tirupati: Smart City projects are being implemented in temple town Tirupati. But the Municipal Corporation officials are neglecting to take up repairs to the roads which are damaged due to recent rains.
Even for moderate rains, several roads in city were damaged and appeared like small water ponds and roads on the outskirts have become unfit for travel by the two-wheelers.
For the last one week, rain water was seen stagnated in front of Sri Padmavathy Mahila University Main Road and commuters are facing problems to move on the road.
Similarly, the stretch of NH from Thummalagunta junction to staff quarters which is being maintained by R & B Department is also in bad condition. Commuters are facing hardships to go to Chandragiri from Tirupati via this road by a two-wheeler or even in four-wheelers.
Majority of roads in LS Nagar, MR Palli, Rayal Nagar and west Maruthi Nagar besides roads leading to University were damaged during the recent rains. Jeevakona, Thimminaidu palem localities residents are also facing same problem for the last one week.
Due to funds crunch, repair works were ignored by the Municipal Corporation of Tirupati. The civic body officials are concentrating on smart city mega projects as well as Swachha Sarvekshan works.
A resident of LS Nagar P Sathish expressed his displeasure over the MCT officials negligence in repairing the roads after rains.
He pointed out that officials always say that they will change Tirupati as Smart City, but they fail to take up road repair works.
