Ahmedabad’s Science City area  has been grappling with waterlogging even with nominal rains, despite several complaints by the residents to the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC).

The Gota Ward Office itself gets flooded  up to waist-deep levels during monsoon season, yet no action has been taken by the authorities to address the problem, according to locals.

Chairperson of Aashka Floret near Science City said that they have made several written complaints to the AMC, but there has been no improvement in the drainage situation.

Despite the constant appeals, the authority only noted their requests and are yet to take any action.

“During the monsoon, when there is even a little rain, the basement of the corporation office itself gets flooded. Residents have a hard time visiting the office to even lodge complaints,” said the chairperson.

He also said that the residents also have to stay up all night during heavy rains because if water accumulates in the basement, it may affect their vehicles.

Despite repeated complaints from residents of societies, no solution has been provided by the AMC.
