VIJAYAWADA: Roads and Buildings minister B.C. Janardhan Reddy on Tuesday admitted in the State Legislative Assembly that dilapidated roads and bridges across Andhra Pradesh are a matter of grave public concern. He accused the previous government of failing to maintain roads and bridges during its entire five-year term, leaving the state’s road infrastructure in a poor condition. “Except for those roads laid during our previous term, the YSRC dispensation took up no new R&B roads. On the specific query regarding Narayanapuram-Bhimavaram road (SH 232), the minister acknowledged that two key bridges — Narayanapuram and Ganapavaram — are in a damaged condition and require immediate attention.
