GHMC chief inspects roads, bus shelters
Improper seating, broken tiles and dirty surroundings of
bus shelters in the twin cities attracted the attention of Greater
Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner
Somesh Kumar during an inspection of the Presidential route from
National Police Academy (NPA) to Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet, on
Monday.
He immediately directed his officials
to take steps to improve the maintenance of bus shelters for the
convenience of passengers as the municipal corporation has the onerous
responsibility to provide cleaner and comfortable bus shelters.
Water-logging points, illegal debris dumping en route and damaged
footpath tiles were also noticed upon which Mr. Kumar wanted immediate
repairs.
Focus areas
The
Commissioner reiterated that he would be on the roads everyday to
concentrate on bettering the road network, hence all senior officials
concerned of the respective departments like engineering, town planning
and sanitation should be available on wireless sets.
Additional
Commissioners D. Ronald Rose, N. Chandra Mohan Reddy, L. Vandan Kumar,
Zonal Commissioners — K. Siva Parvathi, S. Hari Krishna — and other
officials were also present, according to a press release issued here.
