Hyderabad woes

Why do we face so many problems in Hyderabad? When it is summer, there is no water, and when it is rainy season there is excess water which renders many homeless. Why can’t the government take some measure to stop all this agony caused to the people? As if traffic woes were not enough.

As children we are taught about water harvesting to increase ground water levels. I think we can do a similar thing even now by having cement rings (not sure if this is what they are called) placed on open grounds (water harvesting). There must be so many measures that can be taken. Only action needs to be taken. Otherwise we will suffer year after year like this.

Regarding the drainage system, less said the better. Why can’t we take some suggestions from other states like Shillong where it rains all through the year? I stayed there for 4 years, but never faced such problems as here. A brainstorming session is all that it takes to get brilliant ideas for a better Andhra Pradesh.

Now let me come to the biggest problem of all – the traffic. I am a regular public transport commuter who is regularly late to office. Thanks to the increased number of cars on the road which have mostly a single person sitting inside (the driver). Why can’t we have some regulations on that? Lesser the number of cars, the faster we reach office and thus more productivity. This eventually improves the economy of our state and the country as a whole.

What I wrote here are simple suggestions which were probably not thought about seriously till now. I request our CM to kindly do the needful as soon as possible before I am completely exhausted by all these problems just like the others (I am sure).
