Hyderabad: Traffic junctions in the city witnessed a slow movement of vehicles due to the rains and waterlogging on Wednesday. The rains created problems for commuters passing through IIIT Junction as it took more than an hour to cover 7 km.
A slow traffic movement was witnessed near Lakdikapool, RTC X Road, Ramanthapur and Shivam Road towards Amberpet 6 No Junction. Commuters coming from Begumpet and Panjagutta had to spend minimum 30 to 40 minutes to reach Secunderabad.
Commuters passing through areas like Nirankari Bhavan, Iqbal Minar, Naraya-nguda flyover, Malakpet Chermas towards Nalgonda X Road, Chader-ghat and Fateh Nagar towards Balkampet Temple were also stuck in the traffic block.
Around 1pm, traffic coming from Alugadda Bhavi, Sangeeth X Road, Rasoolpura Junc-tion, YMCA X Road, Prakash Nagar, Chikoti Gardens towards HPS outgate slowed down due to waterlogging.
Uma Mahesh Mudigonda, a resident said, “The authorities have chosen a worse time to convert the busiest road into a model road. A 7-km ride to office took 100 minutes because of waterlogging between IIIT and Gopichand Academy.” “A 5-10 minute ride from Osmania University to Koti took around 20 to 30 minutes,” said Mr Surrender Thallapelly, a commuter.
