Hyderabad Residents Fear Unstable Hill Rock After Incident
Imagine a big rock sitting on a hill next to a neighborhood.
A few days ago, another big rock rolled down and hit a garbage truck.
Now, a different rock on the same hill is wobbly and might fall too.
People living nearby are scared their houses could get smashed.
The road nearby is closed because of this, making it hard for buses to go there and people to get around.
Officials know about the wobbly rock and are asking for money to take it away.
They have also told people living very close to the danger zone to move out for their safety.
A market that happens every week in the same area could also be in danger if the rock falls.
Residents of Mallikarjunanagar, Hyderabad, are experiencing fear due to an unstable boulder on a nearby hill.
A previous incident involved a boulder crushing a GHMC garbage trolley, leading to the closure of the main road.
The unstable boulder poses a threat to houses, pedestrians, a high-tension pole, and a weekly market held at the location.
Residents face inconvenience due to the road closure, affecting public transport and access to several colonies.
GHMC officials are seeking funds for boulder removal and have issued notices for residents in the danger zone to vacate.
