Telangana: All potholes to be filled within May, instructs Chief Minister KCR

Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao (KCR) today warned officials over the pathetic situation of roads in the state.

The CM also asked the road and building department officials to ensure that no road in the state has any potholes by May and all the potholes are to be filled up before that without fail.

The CM also announced that he himself will check ground reality and travel all over the state after June 1 to check the road condition and if he finds any pothole on the road then stringent action will be taken against the officials concerned.

Pulling up road and building officers in a meeting held at Pranathi Bhawan in Hyderabad, the CM pointed out that despite appropriate and sufficient funds, several roads across the state are damaged and filled with potholes.

Warning the officials, KCR made it clear that laxity on part of the officials would not be forgiven.

"The other day when I visited Warangal, I have travelled by road from Warangal to Palakurthi. I found several potholes. I have told in the past to fill-up those potholes whenever the need arises. But the officials have not taken up seriously. This not a good method and I am giving one month's time. Fill up all the potholes by May-end. After this, if I find any pothole I will suspend the official concerned then and there," an angry Rao warned the officials.

KCR directed department officials to start the construction process in 10-15 days and complete within a year.
