Summary:
A+ A-Hyderabad: Roads in the city took a beating during persistent rains this week and have turned into a commuting hazard. Rain caused the asphalt to erode and blacktopping is washed away, creating scores of large potholes and cracks. The GHMC Emergency Monsoon Teams have begun repairing some of these but don’t seem to be doing a thorough job. Also, a little patch of asphalt on the road surface which has suffered abrasion will again wash away after another spell of rain,” said a city-based civil engineer, Niranjan. Filling of potholes immediately is like patchwork, which is done using low-quality materials..
