Extend bus service

At present, bus No. 99K plies between Kacheguda and Vanasthalipuram via Panama godowns, Sushma theatre, Sampoorna theatre / Rythu Bazar and ferminates at Vanasthalipuram shopping complex. In the return the bus starts from shopping complex and traverses via the same route to Kacheguda. Since the Vanasthalipuram Shopping Complex is an intermediary stage, it would be prudent if this bus is extended up to Sainagar via Panama godowns, Ganesh temple, shopping complex, Sampoorna Theatre / Rythu Bazar, Kamala Nagar, Subhadra nagar, Sarada Nagar. Despite several requests for the extension of bus 99-K up to Sainagar via Subhadranagar, Sarada Nagar with increased frequency, nothing tangible has emerged. People of the above colonies have to walk the distance from Sampoorna Theatre . I, therefore, request the RTC authorities to do the needful.

Railways, do something

We hear so much about Metro, MMTS, rail-cum-bus tickets, etc. nowadays. In this din a small favour that can be easily bestowed on rail passengers is ignored. The passengers who arrive from different parts of the country and alight at the three main railway stations like Secunderabad, Kachiguda or Nampally and who have to go to suburbs like Jamai Osmania or Alwal or Falaknama now have four options: (i) go out to the ticket counter and purchase a ticket to board the suburban local train (ii) to go to bus stop (iii) to go to the auto stand and pay a fortune to reach home or (iv) to board the readily available suburban local train without a valid ticket.

Since the last option is not acceptable, I request the railway authorities to allow the “incoming” passengers to travel in the available local train to reach their destination on the same ticket or open ticket counters, manned or automatic, on the respective

platforms. M.V.H.Rao,

Death traps

It is a common sight to see in the city drainage pits that are constructed three to four inches either below or over the road level. This is a nightmare, especially for two-wheelers, many of which fall when they suddenly go over them after losing balance.

Apart from this, several pits are kept either open or with broken covers endangering the road users. Will the authorities either shift the channels to the sides or replace the covers to the road level?
