In locations that are prone to frequent waterlogging, like Khairatabad Junction, Peddamma Gudi, Madhapur station, etc., on Road No 36, road restoration works are being done with paver blocks as a long term solution, HMRL managing director, NVS Reddy said. Several European cities and Mumbai, which experience heavy rainfall, have extensively used paver blocks as a long term solution in road stretches prone to waterlogging, he said adding, “This paver block work, which has already started at Khairatabad near Rajiv Gandhi statue, would be replicated in other low-lying and water stagnation areas of the metro corridors.”
