Damaged roads across several places in Vizianagaram have been causing inconvenience to residents for the last few months. Already in a poor condition, the roads have been further damaged due to the recent rains. Daily commuting has become a herculean task.

Areas like Cantonment, railway goods shed, Balaji market, Ice factory junction, Dharmapuri are among the worst affected areas. The lack of proper drainage system, in addition to encroachment on tank lands and public places has worsened the situation.

A senior municipal official told The HIndu that repair works have been initiated across these routes. However, the overflow from drains during the rainy season led to further damage particularly along the Ice factory junction-Dharmapuri, railway goods shed and Cantonment routes.

Balaji market president Buddepu Venkata Rao has appealed to the new Collector S. Ramsundar Reddy to visit the places and take necessary action.
