Unsafe drainage lid in Balkampet sparks urgent GHMC intervention
BALKAMPET: The Unsafe drainage lid near Gayatri Super Market, close to Ratnadeep in Balkampet Junction, is damaged and does not align with the road level, posing a serious risk to the safety of local residents and commuters. Despite multiple complaints from residents, the issue remains unaddressed for over a month.
Regrettably, no action has been taken by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) to repair or secure the lid properly. Local residents are deeply dissatisfied with the lack of response and the delayed resolution of their complaint.
Taking responsibility as a concerned citizen, Krishna Chaitanya, a resident of Balkampet, raised the issue on ‘X’ and lodged a formal complaint with GHMC, stating, “@GHMCOnline Urgent attention required! The drainage lid near Gayatri Super Market and Ratnadeep Balkampet Junction is damaged and poses a hazard. Despite previous complaints, no action has been taken for over a month.”
