Jeedimetla Residents Protest Fox Sagar Canal Bridge Design
People in Jeedimetla are upset about a bridge being built over the Fox Sagar canal.
They say the bridge is too narrow and doesn't have enough space for side roads, which makes it hard for cars to pass.
The local leader, Eatala Rajender, visited the site and talked to the people.
He said the bridge is only 50 feet wide, but the road leading to it is 80 feet wide.
He thinks the bridge should be simpler and cheaper to build, and he wants it to be finished quickly so it doesn't cause too much trouble for the people living there.
He promised to have another meeting to make sure the project goes smoothly.
Residents of Jeedimetla protested the design of the Fox Sagar canal bridge, citing difficulties with the current plan.
MP Eatala Rajender visited the site, inspected the work, and interacted with residents to understand their concerns.
The bridge is 50 feet wide, while the pipeline road is 80 feet wide, causing issues with service roads and vehicle passage.
Rajender questioned the high cost and complexity of the project, suggesting a simpler and more practical design.
He urged for the work to be completed within 3-4 months by experienced contractors, ensuring minimal disruption.
