Hyderabad: A newly constructed bridge at Kalasiguda Minister Road, was inaugurated by the Animal Husbandry Minister, Talasani Srinivas Yadav here on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Talasani said with the initiative of MA&UD Minister KT Rama Rao, several projects were taken up to solve the inundation problems in the city under the SNDP.
Earlier residents of Sindhi Colony, Rasoolpura, Minister Road and parts of Cantonment area faced issues of inundation during monsoon season. After remodeling of the bridge on Picket Nala at Ministers Road crossing and improvement of Kalasiguda Nala at various places under SNDP, this perennial problem of inundation was solved.

Following administrative sanction for Rs.20 crore, the project was taken up to remove bottleneck on Picket Nala on Ministers Road to provide relief to flood prone areas of Secunderabad Cantonment Board and Sindhi colony, Srinivas Yadav added.
