KARIMNAGAR, MARCH 09, 2026: The Municipal Corporation of Karimnagar officials have conducted the 2K run from MCK to Ambedkar Stadium to educate people about the eradication of e-waste in a proper manner on Monday.
The 2K run was flagged off by Manakondur legislator Kavvampalli Satyanarayana at the MCK office in Karimnagar. Mayor Konagari Srinivas, SUDA chairman K Narender Reddy, MCK Commissioner Praful Desai and other municipal officials participate in the run.
Ironically, the MCK officials had shown more importance in conducting the 2K run but showed negligent eyes towards the encroachment of the parking space and footpaths by the traders around the Collectorate and Ambedkar stadium, where they had conducted the so-called run to educate people to proper disposal of e-waste as part of Praja Palana – Pragathi Pranalika.
Whether, the MCK officials are blind over the encroachment of footpaths and parking spaces around the Collectorate and Ambedkar Stadium?. The ambitious spacious double-lane road around the Ambedkar stadium was converted into single allowing the traders to encroach on the parking space and footpaths and cause nuisance to road-users.
The MCK officials, who are known for encroachment for the parking spaces on the Collectorate premises for obvious reasons, are allowing others to encroach on the roads and cause parking woes to the people of the town.
The MCK do not remove encroachments on the roads and relocate them in the constructed markets. But allow them to encroach footpaths and roads and cause inconvenience to the people of the town.
Whether the participants of the MCK, including SUDA chairman, Manakondur MLA Satyanarayana could not see the encroachment of the footpaths and parking spaces during their 2K run in Karimnagar.
The encroachers and traders are setting up permanent structures around the Stadium, but the MCK officials remain mute spectators, which would emerge as a big problem in the future with the growing traffic in the town.
But, the so-called MCK officials are only concerned about encroachment of parking places on the Collectorate premises, denying parking place to the visitors and converting the lawns into parking for their personal reasons, who feel that it is their ‘private estate’.
