The road from PVS to Bunts Hostel was extended a few months ago. During that time, underground drainage was also newly laid. Now, this road is being dug again. Concrete road near Kudmul Ranga Rao girls' hostel is dug again. It is said that incorrect underground drainage work is the reason for digging the road again.
The road that was newly laid from Car Street to Sharavu temple was also dug in a similar manner a few days ago. This road was built just a month ago. It was dug again as pieces of concrete slabs fell into the open manholes due to negligence. This matter did not come to the notice of the respective engineer during the work. After a month, water from the manhole was leaking upwards, which was causing inconvenience to the nearby residents. So the newly built road was dug again.
Social worker G K Bhat says, "Due to the negligence of MCC engineers, at many places in the city, the roads are dug again and again. On the whole, due to the negligence of officials of MCC, taxpayers' money is being wasted."
On one end work related to Smart City is in progress while on the other work of gas pipeline laying by GAIL is going on. For this reason, roads are also being dug at many places in the city with the help of machines. In several places, this work is also left half done."
The concrete road that connects Jail Road to Bejai near the Kodialguthu crossroad has been dug four times in the past few months. As the underground drainage system was not okay, it was giving a foul smell to the residents of Kodialguthu crossroad. Still, MCC has failed to find any permanent solution for this problem.
Mayor Premanand Shetty of MCC says, "It has come to my notice that concrete roads throughout the city are dug again and again. I have already had discussions with concerned officials on this issue. I have taken this issue seriously. Concerned officials will be called and reason for the repeated digging will be asked and they will be warned."
