Drain Overflow Causes Severe Inconvenience; Residents Urge Jajpur Road Municipality to Take Immediate Action
Jajpur Road:10/7(SatyaNewsAlert ) Residents and commuters are facing immense hardship as overflowing drain water has spread across the road near the Hotel Mirabel lane in Jajpur Road. With the drainage system remaining clogged, dirty wastewater has been flowing continuously onto the roadway, forcing pedestrians, two-wheeler riders, and other commuters to wade through the stagnant water.
According to local residents, the problem has persisted for several days, creating unhygienic conditions and disrupting smooth movement in the area. Besides causing inconvenience, the stagnant drain water poses serious health risks, as it can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and increase the chances of waterborne diseases. The foul smell emanating from the overflowing drain has further added to the discomfort of people living and operating businesses nearby.
Residents have expressed concern that if the issue is not addressed promptly, the situation may worsen, especially during rainfall, leading to waterlogging and greater inconvenience for the public.
The locals have appealed to the Jajpur Road Municipality to immediately undertake drain cleaning and desilting work, clear the blockage, and restore proper drainage so that normal traffic and pedestrian movement can resume. They have urged the civic authorities to treat the matter as a priority in the interest of public health, sanitation, and road safety.
