Broken Manhole Near Secunderabad Temple Raises Accident Concerns
A manhole near a temple in Secunderabad has a broken and raised cover.
It is in front of Gayathri Mobiles in Namalagundu.
The cover could make people walking nearby fall.
It could also damage vehicles or cause accidents.
A local resident says the manhole should be brought down to ground level.
