Residents worried as monsoon approaching
The residents of ward no. 174 of HSR are a worried lot these days as monsoon is fast approaching. Even after several rounds of complaining, the kaccha road near the Reliaable Acacia is in a very bad shape for the last three years. Residents fear it will turn worse during monsoon.
The road has not been repaired since the three years. There are several apartment complexes in that road. Residents have been complaining about the issue but there has been no sign of improvement.
The road starts from the left side of Suncity apartments. The uneven road is a nightmare for motorists. If one moves further on the road, heaps of mud can be seen piled up on both sides. “The mud on both sides of the road makes the road even narrower. It is getting increasingly difficult for people and vehicles to pass the road. This problem has been there since three years, without any improvement,” said Praveen D Souza, general secretary, Reliaable Acacia Owners Association.
Residents fear small children will hurt themselves while walking or running on this uneven road. As the road is all cement and sand, it is even risky for two wheelers as there are chances of skidding.
As the stretch from Suncity Apartments to Reliaable Acacia comes under the ward no. 174, the residents approached the local MLA and the corporator but they were told that for the development of the road, clearance from Lake Development Authority (LDA) is required. Latha Narasimhamurthy, Corporator of ward no. 174, said, “We asked permission from the Lake Development Authority (LDA) for laying a pucca road. The residents of Iblur, Reliaable Acacia and Suncity Apartments have also given a memorandum to repair the road.”
