Buxar Station Sewage Crisis: Monsoon Fears Rise
12 Jul
Summary
- Sewage drain construction at Dumraon railway station sparks commuter outrage.
- Wastewater from a new toilet connects to an unfinished drain.
- Health hazard fears rise due to potential sewage overflow during monsoon.
Concerns are mounting at Dumraon railway station in Buxar over a new sewage drain construction project. The railways are connecting wastewater from a recently built 'Pay and Use' toilet to an incomplete storm water drain near the ticket office. This setup lacks a proper outlet, raising significant fears of sewage overflow, especially as the monsoon season is progressing.
Local commuters and residents have voiced their strong opposition, citing inadequate planning for wastewater disposal and the current state of the approach road, which has been dug up and left unfinished. This poses immediate inconvenience to pedestrians and a potential public health hazard if sewage and rainwater inundate the area. While railway officials have assured that an alternative wastewater disposal method will be arranged, commuters remain skeptical, emphasizing the urgent need for proper drainage solutions before passenger amenities are affected.
