Bumpy roads continue to trouble people in Vizag

GVMC failed to take action despite several representations, say corporators

Pothole-ridden roads have been one of the major civic issues for people of Visakhapatnam in this year. The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) has failed to address the issue despite a number of representations from resident welfare associations, corporators and citizens. With the city receiving good rains this year, the condition of roads has gone from bad to worse in the last one year.

Some of the most damaged roads in the city can be seen in the suburban localities and recently merged areas in the corporation, including Pendurthi, Madhurawada, Gajuwaka, Bheemunipatnam, Anakapalle and a few other areas. Whenever it rains in the city, several complaints pour in on to the GVMC social media handles from residents of Pendurthi, Chinnamushidiwada, Sujatha Nagar and a few surrounding areas.
