Subject: – The difficulties we are facing due to water logging in the locality.
Respected sir,
I am a local resident of the area, Shashtri Nagar. Our locality is facing lots of difficulties due the water logging problem since last 3 years. The pits on roads, roadside ditches and gutters all heavily flow after even a small rainfall.
The open drains in the locality spill over even after small quantity of the rain. The open gutters are dangerous for the people walking or driving along that road, anyone can fall into the open gutter and it may lead upto death of the person. All the filled gutters and pits are very unhygienic and spread lots of smell through it. When the pits are filled with water for so many days in the rainy season, the dangerous mosquitoes like dengue and malaria hatch eggs in the water. After that the peoples in the locality can fall ill, which has happened before.
We have made lots of appeals since the problems have been arising, but there is no response from the Municipality office. No one come to inspect the area in the rainy season, also there is no improvement in the situation since last 3 years. This is my sincerely request to you sir, please publish this news in your daily, so that any action will be taken against the worst condition.
Thanking you.
Yours truly,
Dhiraj R. Dhooper.
