Flyover collapse - Panjagutta

At least 2 persons were killed and 10 others injured when a portion of an under-construction flyover collapsed near the busy commercial area of Punjagutta in Hyderabad on Sunday evening. This road is frequently used by many people and is jampacked all the time .

The flyover, which was being constructed with sophisticated construction technology of pre-stressed concrete moulds since September 2005, was due to be inaugurated in December this year and many people like me thought that the traffic woes on that road will be solved ... but i guess we got it wronged ... after watching TV yesterday i will probably fear to even get unto the flyover with the construction material and planning involved in it.
The blame game started yesterday evening .. what an irony ...

It is really a shame for any one to see the roads of Hyderabad. The concerned officials must be made to sit in an auto and force travel on some city roads like from Barkatpura to Hitech city between 10 a.m. and 12 noon and between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.
The city was excellent during Naidu's regime... i dont deny that there were some problems as well but not like this.

I hope they take the construction of the airport and the implementation of the governing rules there more seriously. Hyderabad doesn't have any more bandwidth to take any small untoward incident now!

God, somebody save this city!! My lovely city!!
