NEXT COLLAPSE WILL BE THE BEGUMPET FLYOVER!
by Kabeer on Sep 10, 2007 12:45 AM

I was horrified of late at the vibrations the Begumpet flyover produced even when no heavy vehicle running over it! Am afraid of its structural strength!

Worse, flyovers are built to ease traffict at the perpendicular X crossings. But all the flyovers were built on the Begumpet-Secbad road where no major X crossings present. It's a waste of public money because it just wasted the road space below with the occupation of the pillars and those stupid greenery watered even in summer when no drinking water is available to the citizens! In Hyderabad not long ago water supply was only for 6 months in a year (alternate day supply!)But they have water to waste on these plants at kilometre long dividers! In Hyderabad summer, the water poured just gets evaporated in minutes! Its citizens do not have water to drink but Naidu wants to impress foreigners with greenery on dividers! It just elevated the below road space to above. Even those flyovers are so narrow and only God knows whether one can expand in future if the need arises!

There is a dire need for flyovers at Ameerpet, Punjagutta Jns where traffic nightmares are heavy but there are no flyovers there!

BLAME IT ON NAIDU's STUPIDITY TO BUILD THESE AND I DON'T KNOW WHO MADE MONEY ON ALL THESE VENTURES!
