Ravi Teja was greatly moved by the death of Chennari in a borewell near Chevella in Ranga Reddy district. He vowed to do something for the unending woes of Hyderabadis who have to endure bad roads everyday. He is a student of a government school.
Moved by the recent deaths in borewells, a student of class 5- Ravi Teja- took it on himself to close all the potholes on the roads in his area. Even as GHMC turned a deaf ear to the woes of daily commuters on the roads, it didn't take much to realise what they endured everyday.
Ravi was seen gathering gravel to fill up the potholes at Habsiguda main road on Monday afternoon. Soon to be a student of a residential school in Ghatkesar, this student from a government school said that he was doing this at no one's behest.
He went ahead with his work, unmindful of the increasing traffic and the air pollution. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, he said, "I cannot forget how Chinnari fell into the borewell and died. Every time I travel I see commuters trying to negotiate their way past potholes. I have seen many people fall. I don’t want anyone to die this way. Monday was the first day that I attempted this, I will continue to fill potholes." He also said that he would involve his friends in this project too.
