Dotted with high rises, grounded by reality

Residents of Serilingampally in Hyderabad are concerned about the rapid growth of the area. With a voter base of over six lakh, the top three issues identified by residents are lack of public transport, poor drainage and sanitation, and traffic congestion. They fear that these problems will only worsen with the construction of more high-rise buildings.
