People criticise officials for allowing digging of roads during monsoon season
Rain-battered roads and ongoing underground cabling works at many colonies have made commuting a nightmare for motorists in the city. People have been criticising the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation(GVMC) officials for allowing digging of roads and taking up such works during monsoon season. People allege that after the recent rains, small potholes in their colony roads have gone deeper and bigger, while the bigger ones have turned dangerous, posing a threat to the two-wheeler riders. “In the name of development, the officials have dug the roads a couple of times. The roads were not properly relaid. If a motorist does not carefully watch, he/she may skid on the road or fall,” said K. Raju, a resident of China Waltair, showing the bad condition of his colony roads.More Related News

This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
