An average Techie lives in the posh Banjara Hills suburbs or in the native Kukatpally suburbs. Travelling to & fro office is an ordeal filled with bumpy rides, traffic chaos and what not…..
The usual reason for delay for most Hyderabadis is `stuck in traffic.’ But worst hit are the people who are living in Jubilee Hills or in Kukatpally, and most are techies. The Techies of course earn a handsome pay, but are recipients of crude traffic chaos as a daily ordeal. Especially the road connecting Jubilee Hills to the IT hub of Madhapur, has vehicle density on par with any other main road in the city. And during peak hours the rush is immense.
In fact this road is filled on either side with many prominent residential land marks. The road which hubs the prestigious Kavuri Hills is the most preferred road by the daily trotters. If the GHMC ever conducts a poll, this road, should top the list of `the most neglected roads.’ Potholes, chipped off speed-breakers, uneven road surface and sudden troughs in the far ends of both sides of the road due to bad engineering make the commute on this stretch a daily adventure. Traffic snarls during peak hours are routine and commuters complain there is no traffic personnel posted on this road ever.
Commuters say the situation further worsens during the monsoon with water logging on many parts of the stretch. This road is a shortcut for the employees working in and around Hi-Tec City and is also a parallel route to the main road. The GHMC officials and the Traffic personnel assure prompt action on the issue, as usual. (With inputs from Internet-AarKay)
