“Municipal council has already approved the proposal of construction and widening of two kilometres of approach road on the bank of the lake with an outlay of Rs.1.15 crore. The file is pending with the Engineering Wing for technical assessment. The present width of the road is 20 feet wide but has proposed to stretch it further 10 feets giving a wall to wall approach bringing the entire width of the road to a total 30 feets. All the arrangements have already been completed and if all plans work accordingly, the inauguration will be held next week,” informed Abdallah Sadi, Chairmen Jalpally Municipality.

The officials later find the stretch completely unsafe for the commuters as the flood water already made this narrow and bumpy road quite vulnerable for similar incidents as vehicular movement, that include passage of heavy vehicles carrying construction and industrial material, is very common.

Earlier, the officials were of the view that unless and until the flood water recedes the narrow and unmetalled road is not at all safer for the commuters to pass on. However, now when the flood water has sunk into the ground to an extent, the officials are planning to field the works and complete the same as soon as possible to avoid further inconvenience to the regular rod users on this stretch.
