Anchatgeri Oni road in disrepair despite years of complaints
Hubballi: Anchatgeri Oni Road, one of the busiest roads near Janata Bazaar in HDMC Ward No. 65, remains in poor condition. It was dug up for underground drainage and water pipeline works.
The condition of the road worsened due to the recent rains. Despite repeated complaints by locals, no permanent solution has been provided so far.
According to sources, Anchatgeri Oni is located in the heart of the city. Families have lived there for many years. There are about 50 houses on this road. It connects Tadapatri Gali, Dajiban Peth, and many other roads. The road is always busy and there are many temples on the stretch.
There have been incidents of motorists getting injured due to stagnant water in the potholes. Roads that were damaged in last year's monsoon have not yet been repaired. This year, motorists complain that the problem has risen again due to untimely rains. Locals demand the construction of a permanent CC road.
Work on the UGD started six months ago. Road has been dug to install the drinking water pipeline. The road from Janata Bazaar to Tadapatri Gali deteriorated due to the recent rainfall.

Sunitha Burbure, corporator of HDMC Ward No. 65, told that the UGD work was carried out and later the drinking water pipeline was installed. Earlier, the road was repaired, however, due to various reasons, the CC road work was delayed.
