Nearly 800 families struggle to enter their homes in Parvatipuram-Manyam district
Residents of Pedapenki village in the Parvatipuram-Manyam district are struggling to access their homes due to stalled drainage and road construction projects. Local leaders and officials are calling for accountability regarding the delays caused by poor coordination between government agencies.
Why it matters
This highlights the impact of bureaucratic inefficiency and poor project management on the daily lives of rural citizens.
It is a pathetic story of nearly 800 families living in Pedapenki village of Balijipeta mandal of Parvatipuram-Manyam district. The government’s good intention to develop an efficient drainage system, water tanks and roads in the village turned into a bane for people living in the village due to delays in the completion of the works.
As part of the developmental works, the officials removed steps, ramps of houses and encroachments on drainage eight months ago. Now, the people have been facing untold misery in the absence of steps and concrete structures to move in and out of their houses. The elderly people and patients are the immediate victims due to the untold miseries.
