Telangana High Court today expressed displeasure at the GHMC and authorities concerned on the bad condition of the roads in the city. Why does the GHMC or other authorities take decades’ long time to repair the roads, the court asked.
When the people are losing their lives on the bad roads, what plan is being implemented by the GHMC, the court retorted. The court literally pulled up the officials on the negligence of laying roads and giving patches which are badly hit in the rains. During the rainy season no special care is being taken to address the problems early, the court observed.
