Talasani inaugurates newly-constructed bridge at Kalasiguda
Talasani srinivas Yadav, the minister of Animal Husbandry, inaugurated a recently built bridge at Kalasiguda, minister Road, on Friday. Speaking at the event, Talasani said that various initiatives were launched under the SNDP to address the city's flooding issues on the initiative of MA&UD minister K.T. Rama Rao.
Previously, during the monsoon season, inhabitants of Sindhi Colony, Rasoolpura, minister Road, and portions of the Cantonment region had flooding problems. This recurring issue of inundation was resolved by remodelling the bridge on Picket Nala at the Ministers Road crossing and improving Kalasiguda Nala at several sites under SNDP. After the majority of the colonies in the Begumpet region were submerged during the 2020 monsoon owing to a backlog at the bridge on Picket Nala near Ministers Road Crossing, the work was undertaken.
The bridge was tiny and in poor condition, creating a bottleneck that resulted in flooding of upstream communities since there was no free movement. Following administrative approval for Rs. 20 crore, the project was launched to clear the bottleneck on Picket Nala on Ministers Road to aid secunderabad Cantonment Board's and Sindhi colony's flood-prone districts. added srinivas Yadav.
