Hyderabad: Overflowing drains, damaged roads and water stagnation points have become a common sight for residents living in Marredpally and Yapral.
With the IMD predicting an early monsoon, residents are apprehensive that the situation in their colonies would go from bad to worse, like every year.
They said that even though several complaints had been registered with the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, the officials were ignoring them. Vexed with the apathy, citizens have taken to social media to highlight their issues.
Mr Attela Venkat, a resident of Nehrunagar, West Marredpally, said, “We are living in Kachra Bharath. Unbearable stench and overflowing drains have made life difficult. Children from the area have been playing in these unhygienic conditions and during monsoon they will not have a proper play area.”
He said that to make matters worse even sanitation staff had been irregular and were sweeping the bylanes only once a fortnight.
Mr Venkat added that though several complaints had been lodged, the civic authorities were yet to the resolve the issues. Md Mujeeb, a resident of Addagutta, said “The situation is not any better in East Marredpally. The pathetic situation has not improved in four years. We are tired of false promises.”
