Vejalpur residents forced to wade through sewage water

Updated: Aug 25th, 2024


Residents of Vejalpur had to wade through dirty water after thousands of litres of sewage water overflowed on Sonal Cinema Road near Shrinand Nagar Division-3 on Augustt 24. The issue of waterlogging during regular rains has been a problem for some time in the area. However, with recent rains in Satellite, Anandnagar, and Jodhpur, the pressure on the main drainage line had increased leading to the overflowing of the gutter line.

As a result, vehicles and local residents passing through the main road were inconvenienced for hours. Local shopkeepers also expressed their frustration. 

There are also now serious concerns among the residents about the potential spread of diseases due to this situation. The problem is attributed to the negligence of the authorities. 

Local corporator Jayesh Trivedi mentioned that such situations occur during heavy rains. He stated that the only solution is micro-tunnelling, and a proposal has been made to higher authorities for this purpose. However, until the issue is resolved, numerous shopkeepers and residents will continue to suffer.
