Congress MLC accuses GHMC chief of mishandling rain situation

Congress MLC MS Prabhakar has strongly criticised the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Commissioner and Special Officer Somesh Kumar of mishandling the situation that aroused due to heavy rainfall in the city for the last three days.

Speaking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan here, Prabhakar said that several roads were turned into pools due to improper maintenance of storm water drains. The GHMC did not lift garbage and the same chocked several drains across the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The roads got badly damaged due to rains and it slowed down the movement of vehicular traffic on major roads. No action was taken by the GHMC Commissioner to carryout immediate repair. He also alleged that the GHMC did not take any steps to clear water from the low lying areas.

Prabhakar asked Somesh Kumar to stop acting like a TRS worker and focus on his job of providing better civic amenities to the people. (INN)
