HELLISH HYDERABAD

A WEEK OF HELL FOR HYDERABAD MOTORISTS

Motorists in Hyderabad, especially those on two wheelers had never had it so bad during the past week. They are being battered from the top as well as underneath leaving no room for even a spot of joy during their daily ride to and from office.

Since a week it has been raining heavily almost everyday especially during afternoons and evenings. It is not just ordinary rain but a heavy downpour leaving all the roads filled with pools of water as big as lakes. If this wasn’t enough the roads underneath have turned literally into powder. The gravel is coming loose from the potholes that seem to be growing in size with every rain, and spreading across the road posing a grave risk to two-wheeler riders. The road becomes slippery making bikes skid when turning and when the brakes are applied.

The rains are making it difficult for the potholes to be repaired so the motorists must bear it until the rains stop. The best thing to do under the circumstances is to take the bus and avoid a lot of problems.
