The unending work of GVMC either digging up roads or
leaving them without repair for a long time is putting citizens to
hardship bordering on grave risk. Whatever is the work, it is elementary
that basic precautions are taken. The big pit dug out opposite the Port
Stadium at Akkayyapalem abutting the National Highway puts hundreds of
people going to the stadium or the others living in the neighbourhood
and using the road at risk. It has been nearly three weeks since the
crater has been dug out.

A large number of people,
including women and senior citizens, come to the stadium for morning or
evening walk. The steady stream begins right from early morning. Any
unwary walker or a little lack of attention may land them in trouble.
The road also is a convenient diversion for many who live in the nearby
Green Park area or the adjacent streets.

Putting a
cautionary signal and board on the nature of the work and completing the
work at the earliest is the relief citizens expect.
