According to HMWSSB officials, during the construction of the new road, the manholes were constructed parallel to the road without proper precautions. Their height was increased with only cement bricks, and the plastering work was not completed.

Due to this, gravel and sand get into the manholes, and sewage problems arise. This pipeline has been taken up for the expansion of the pipeline from GHMC headquarters to Nimboliadda to Amberpet.
