Jagtial Bypass Road Death Trap: Lack of Signage, Poor Maintenance
On a busy road in Jagtial called the bypass road, many people drive every day.
It connects the Karimnagar highway to the Dharmapuri route.
The road is bumpy and uneven, so cars can wobble even when driving slowly.
It has sharp curves and blind spots, but no signs or speed breakers to warn drivers.
There are also hard cement blocks sticking out along the road.
One Sunday, a young man named Gangadhar was going home with his grandfather.
His vehicle crashed at a sharp curve on the road.
Gangadhar was badly hurt and died right there.
His family and other people who use the road are sad and angry.
They are asking the government to fix the road and put up warning signs so no one else gets hurt.
A youth named Gangadhar died on the spot after his vehicle crashed at a sharp, unguided curve on the Jagtial bypass road.
Gangadhar, a resident of Deekonda village in Pegadapalli mandal, was returning home from Jagtial with his grandfather.
Commuters blame uneven road surfaces, missing warning signage, and hazardous cement protrusions for recurring accidents.
The bypass road connects the Karimnagar highway to the Dharmapuri route.
Residents and motorists are demanding urgent repairs and warning signboards from district authorities and the Roads & Buildings department.
