Aliabad residents urge permanent solution to drainage overflow ahead of Ramadan
Hyderabad: Residents of Aliabad, under the Shahalibanda Division, Hyderabad, have urged the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) to address the recurring issue of drainage water overflowing onto the main road. The problem, which has persisted for the past two years, has caused significant inconvenience, especially as Ramadan approaches.
Hamad Hashmi, a local resident, highlighted the issue on social media, calling for a permanent solution. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Request for permanent solution to drainage water overflow in Aliabad, opposite Masjid-e-Almas, Shop No. 23-5-34,35, Main Road, Aliabad, under Shahalibanda Division. This problem has persisted for the past 2 years. @PrlsecyMAUD @HMWSSBOnline @GHMCOnline.”

In response, the HMWSSB acknowledged the issue and requested further details. Their official account responded, “Good Evening sir.
