HYDERABAD: A contract worker of a private company entrusted with road maintenance work was killed when he was hit by a car while watering the plants on the median at Road Number 2, Banjara Hills, on Thursday.
Ch Kiran (23) of NBT Nagar in Banjara Hills was working for the private company entrusted with road maintenance work by the GHMC.
