The drainage system in Hyderabad has once again come under sharp criticism, with residents from areas like Yousufguda and Krishnanagar raising serious concerns. A recent video titled “Hyderabad Drainage System Worst Condition | Public Shocking Comments & Reactions” captures the frustration of locals who are battling daily hardships due to poor civic maintenance.
Residents allege that overflowing drainage water, often released by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC), has left streets perpetually wet, unhygienic, and unsafe. The situation worsens during the monsoon, when sewage water mixes with rainwater, flooding entire neighborhoods.
Health risks are a growing concern, as stagnant sewage water has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, increasing the chances of malaria and other waterborne diseases. Open manholes add to the danger, with several reports of accidents. Poorly maintained roads filled with potholes make commuting even more hazardous, while stray dogs roaming in these unhygienic conditions pose additional risks.
Civic activists and residents are urging municipal authorities, the GHMC Commissioner, and even the Chief Minister to step in with urgent measures. Suggestions include completing drainage works during summer and winter months, identifying and removing illegal drainage connections, and ensuring that long-pending civic projects are executed without political delays.
The issue, locals argue, is not new. Despite multiple governments and promises, drainage woes in Hyderabad continue to plague citizens, raising questions about accountability and governance. As public pressure builds, residents hope this long-ignored problem will finally receive the attention it deserves.
