Hyderabad: The medians made for beautification below the viaduct of Hyderabad Metro Rail have become a major challenge for the passage of water. The water is now accumulating around the median rather than having a free passage which was the case earlier.
According to sources in the traffic department, permission for maidens have been taken at 47 places by the Hyderabad. A senior officer in metro rail explained, “The construction work is presently underway. There will be proper channels created so that the water gets absorbed in the pit which is going to be near the maiden.
“The points where water logging is happening have been noted down and the due rectification will be carried out.”
The maidens are being constructed for beautification and greenery in the middle of the road. But it has led to severe water logging due to the water falling off from metro rail viaduct, sides of the pillars and also the station areas.
This has led to formation of new water logging points in the city.
