Bad roads in Suryaraopet irk commuters, locals
New Indian ExpressVIJAYAWADA: Passing through the lanes of Suryaraopet has become a nightmare for commuters and pedestrians for more than two months. According to residents of Dasarivari Street, the street was dug up by the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation two months ago to lay pipelines as part of the underground drainage works. Navigating through the pothole-ridden roads filled with pebbles and stones has become a daunting task, with two-wheelers often losing balance and cars suffering damages, locals rued. Responding to the issue, VMC commissioner Swapnil Dinakar Pundkar said works for re-laying the roads will start soon under the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation scheme. Stating that the VMC has already started executing the underground drainage project in phases across the city, Pundkar explained, “We are planning to provide 100% UGD coverage in the city.
