The road in front of latitude has been repaired as well.

I am happy
Looks like R&B Dept is on a spree for fixing the roads. Most of the roads are being fixed for the pot holes. Remember GHMC polls are coming up. IIRC from the newspapers, the date for the polls have been set to 22nd Nov. Election times locally

I guess, it must have been Tuesday night.

I used the road on the otherside yesterday on my way back home and saw the vehicles zipping. The turning near peddama temple was also done up with no pot holes.

Ladakh was much worse. Plus nothing generally happens on leaf springs you see . And to top it all I have the power of " 2 Year/ 1,00,000 KM warranty" and I intend to use it fully .

I actually have a list of suspension breaking journeys that need to be completed before the warranty is over

P.S: Will show you some time the video of NGC style drive over Ladakhi Flat Lands chasing wild asses. This is just for starters

nothing is ever going to happen to leaf springs even if they bend they cost only 100 bucks to get back to shape. Irarely slow down for speed bumps when in the jeep. Slow or fast the ride is bone jarring. might as well go fast when i can.

Exactly my sentiments Karan.

Not that this would be of any interest to majority of you Hitec city living folks.

Chaderghat bridge ( Which comes when you going towards Saidabad/Dilshukhnagar/NH9 etc) now has a median and traffic is flowing both sides.

Earlier it used to be a one-way !

Well, is that good or bad? I remember earlier that one had to take another bridge nearby to go in the other direction.

Now you ask it. It does not make too much of difference as the other route is just a few meters ahead. Maybe for some, it could but, not for me.

Ahem...I've used that road 3 or 4 times in the past 7+ years, so it is not that much useful to me as an uodate on Durgam Cheruvu road would be!

So we are back to Durgam Cheruvu? Btw, whats happening on this road? How many of you are having a problem due to it's unavailability. Shall we poll?

Btw, Rd.10 speedbreakers got a nice white paint lines on either side of the breakers. Now you can spot them from a distance and not come across them in a hurry and shake up your intestines
