Civic Crisis: Ward 33 Residents Battle Choked Sewers & Poor Roads
21 Sep
Summary
- Damaged roads and stagnant water worsen during monsoon rains.
- Residents struggle with choked sewerage and inadequate drinking water.
- Locals demand permanent solutions to recurring civic amenity issues.
Residents of several localities within Ward 33 are experiencing a significant decline in basic civic amenities. Areas such as Sua Road, Makkar Colony, GTB Nagar, Samrat Colony, New Laxmi Nagar, and Ambedkar Nagar face a multitude of problems including damaged roads, choked sewerage systems, and insufficient drinking water supply. These issues are exacerbated during the monsoon season, leading to widespread waterlogging and unhygienic conditions.
The poor state of roads becomes particularly problematic after rainfall, with potholes filling up and creating muddy stretches, posing difficulties for pedestrians and two-wheelers. Choked sewerage and stagnant water in residential lanes make movement hazardous and unsanitary, forcing residents to wade through dirty water. Compounding these problems, some areas also report issues with the regular supply of clean drinking water, necessitating residents to make their own arrangements.
Local representatives acknowledge the severity of the situation, citing a lack of response from higher authorities and a shortage of sanitation workers. While a 24x7 water supply project is reportedly underway, causing road disruptions, officials state that efforts are being made to address the identified problems. However, residents are seeking permanent resolutions to these recurring issues rather than temporary fixes.
