Cracks on Velachery Road Spreading to Nearby Apartments: Residents

DAYS after the first crack emerged on Sheshadripuram First Main Road in Velachery, residents have now started noticing new cracks that have started developing in the premises of two apartments on the same street.

According to corporation officials, the cracks were due to the foundation work carried out for a 17-storeyed residential project taken up on the same road by a private developer. Work using heavy machinery was halted after the cracks first appeared but filling work continued. The portion of the cracked road has been barricaded from vehicular movement, the officials said. With the road yet to be fixed, residents of the street are forced to take the longer route to reach the Perungudi Railway Station.

ZERO FARMER SUICIDES; DISTRESS STILL REMAINS

TELANGANA has come a long way since its formation in 2014. While development is often measured through indicators such as state gross domestic product, per capita income and soaring skylines, one statistic perhaps reflects the state’s transformation more meaningfully than the skyscrapers rising across Hyderabad—the number of farmer suicides.
