@runthusiast Dear Citizen, your concern has been noted and forwarded to the concerned team for necessary action.

With all due respect @revanth_anumula @TelanganaCMO, just last week you said it's pointless calling Hyderabad a global city if 1km takes 2 hours in the rain, and that "merely calling Hyderabad a global city is not enough." You're right. So please come to Peerancheruvu. The only approach road to PBEL City and a residential area of 10,000+ people plus a few schools isn't even built. Roughly 800 metres on one side alone has been reduced to craters that flood every monsoon.

For months we chased @bandlagudajagir @MC_Bandlaguda over this road. Then our area merged into GHMC, a contractor dug it up, laid a sewer line, built barely 10% of the road and vanished. The trench was just filled with mud and the road was never completed. No penalty, no follow-up, nobody held accountable. Heavy construction trucks destroy whatever is left.

You've admitted yourself that your departments weren't proactive. This is exactly that. You hold the Municipal Administration portfolio, this is your department. A ₹1 lakh crore global-city vision means nothing to us when GHMC can't finish 800 metres of a road it already committed to.

@GHMCOnline @CommissionrGHMC, please take up this abandoned work and lay the full stretch before the monsoon does more damage. Honestly, I shouldn't have had to file a complaint, but GHMC promised this road and didn't build it, so I've logged one (complaint #1506265926233, screenshot attached). We've waited far too long for the basics.

A truck driver on his phone rear-ended our car (A Hyundai Tucson) on a NH44. My 4-year-old was in the car. We walked away. Barely!

This isn’t just our story. This is every Indian highway, every single day. And nobody in power seems to care enough to fix it.

Here’s what’s killing people on our national highways and what we demand changes:

[LLMs have been used to for better phrasing]

📵 CELLPHONE DISTRACTION
Phone use while driving = driving drunk. Same reaction time, same lane drift, same inability to brake. The fine is a joke — paid, forgotten, back on the phone. This needs criminal-level deterrence, not a challan.

🚛 TRUCKS IN THE FAST LANE
Every highway trip, a truck crawling in the rightmost lane, forcing everyone to overtake dangerously from the left. Keeping left is LAW under the Motor Vehicles Act. Not a suggestion. Where is the enforcement?

🔀 LANE CHANGES WITHOUT INDICATORS
No signal. No mirror check. Just a sudden swerve at speed. This causes side-impact crashes and pile-ups that nobody sees coming. Fine and suspend. No exceptions.

⛔ WRONG-SIDE DRIVING
Tractors. Autos. Trucks. Even cars — driving on the wrong side of a 4-lane highway because turning around is “too far.” This is not a traffic violation. This is attempted murder. Head-on collisions at highway speeds are almost always fatal.

🚶 JAYWALKING ON HIGHWAYS
Pedestrians crossing 6-lane highways on foot because there are no underpasses, no footbridges, no lighting. My anger isn’t at them. It’s at a system that collects toll at every plaza and still can’t build basic pedestrian infrastructure. Very common on ORR in Hyderabad.

🛠️ WORKERS ON LIVE LANES WITH ZERO PROTECTION
Road repair / landscaping with no cones, no barriers, no advance warning signs, no reflective gear. Workers crouching in a live lane with vehicles flying past at 100 kmph. This is institutional recklessness with human lives.

🚚 UNFIT TRUCKS ON HIGHWAYS
Overloaded. Bald tyres. Broken tail lights. No reflective tape. Invisible at night until it’s too late. Vehicle fitness certification is a rubber stamp. Bribes are cheaper than compliance. We need automated testing with zero human interface.

🌑 ZERO ENFORCEMENT AFTER DARK
Every highway driver knows the truth - after dark, the rules don’t exist. No patrol. No cameras. No consequences. Highway patrol must be 24x7. Non-negotiable.
━━━━━━━━━━

What can save you:
✅ 5-star safety rated car: crumple zones held, cabin stayed intact
✅ Toddler car seat: IsoFix is better.
✅ Seatbelts - every passenger including rear seats
✅ A good 2-channel dashcam — rear footage is now our key evidence. Front-only would have been of little help.

Before buying a car, check its safety ratings. Use a car seat. Belt up. Get a 2-channel dashcam.

Thanks to @HyundaiIndia @Hyundai_Global for making a car which saved us.
━━━━━━━━━━

A special thank you to @AnantapurPolice for filing the FIR promptly and treating this with the seriousness it deserved. This is what accountability looks like.

Also tagging @arun_bathula who has been doing some great work in #hyderabad to bring awareness and educate drivers in the city to thank him for his efforts in making the city roads safer.

@nitin_gadkari @ncbn @AndhraPradeshCM @revanth_anumula @TelanganaCMO @NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia @APTrafficPolice @APPOLICE100 @TelanganaCOPs enough talk. Fix this.

#shradh simplified. When we celebrate #Thanksgiving in the west, why not we give a holiday during Shradh mas and show #honour and #gratitude for our ancestors and loved ones who are not with us anymore? @narendramodi @RSSorg

Thank you Hamza and Shrutam for accommodating us on CCU to GAU flight after the delay in connecting flight to CCU. @IndiGo6E you should be proud of these boys 👏👏

[Pavan Atukuri @PavanAtukuri]

Why should only girls follow 8pm curfew? Why not boys? If we lock up boys in hostels/houses or wherever, none of these atrocities will happen right? I am in for #8pmcurfewforboys Are you?

[Pavan Atukuri @PavanAtukuri]

Many congratulations @rohanbopanna on your becoming world No.1. One of the greatest stories in Indian sports 👏🥂

[Pavan Atukuri @PavanAtukuri]

Thank you khushboo Chelani for helping us with an alternate flight in @IndiGo6E from BOM to HYD on 25th Dec to attend to an emergency..kudos to your empathy and professionalism, you are awesome 👏👏

[Pavan Atukuri @PavanAtukuri]

Our journey began 10 years ago crafting narratives to captivate audiences.

We have evolved into a globally recognized agency for the corporate films we’ve produced.

We are grateful for the priceless support you have given us along the way

Thank you

@HYDTP this car was parked in the middle of the road (Opp. DLF building) causing inconvenience

[Pavan Atukuri @PavanAtukuri]

This breaks my heart #noracism #bekind #betolerant

I thought racism is an old school thing until I came across this video from Ireland and also what Napoli has done to Victor Osimhen.

I have watched this video and I felt like crying.The video below has been circulating, showing a medal ceremony for gymnastics in Ireland.

As you can see, a medal is given to every girl except for the black girl. You can see she gets all excited and ready to receive her medal, only for the official to move past her and onto the next gymnast.I can feel that black girl.

Haiti, Amrabat , Pere and Mercy, No 007, Kaepernick, Mr Ibu, Chelsea.
