Truck loads of earth, debris being brought to Moosanagar
In utter disregard of the deadly warning issued by the heavy rains and floods that devastated the city in the month of October, efforts are in full swing by the land sharks to fill up Musi river and level it.
Truck loads of earth and also debris were being brought towards Moosanagar alongside the Chaderghat causeway bridge, and dumped into the river bed for levelling.
It may be recalled that Moosanagar had been the worst-hit among slums abutting the river during the floods that occurred in October, when surplus flows from Himayatsagar were released into Musi.
