Safety Concerns Ignored

For over two years, Telangana Tribune has consistently highlighted the urgent need for widening the NH-163, where the accident occurred. Despite the sanctioning of a 4-lane road widening project two years ago, no ground work has commenced. The road remains narrow and highly unsafe, despite its proximity to Hyderabad and its heavy usage by commuters and vendors.

Call for Action

Residents have repeatedly raised concerns about the dangerous conditions of this stretch of NH-163. The lack of action by authorities has made travel on this road perilous, with incidents like today’s underlining the neglect of public safety.
