Waterlogging Persists on MP’s Sitamau Road
There is a road in Sitamau, Madhya Pradesh, that has been flooded for the past three years.
This is because the drainage system is not good, and there are things blocking the water from flowing away.
Officials from the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation and local authorities visited the area to see the problem.
They said that to fix it, they need to build better drainage and remove the things blocking the water.
They also said they might raise the road a bit to prevent future flooding.
The local leader, Manoj Shukla, promised that the authorities will meet soon to find a permanent solution.
Persistent waterlogging has submerged the road stretch between Laduna Square and the Ginning Factory in Sitamau, Madhya Pradesh.
Inadequate drainage and encroachments have caused the problem for the past three years.
MPRDC officials inspected the site and recommended constructing drainage channels and removing encroachments before implementing a permanent solution.
Municipal Council Chairperson Manoj Shukla assured residents that district authorities would soon hold a meeting to work out a permanent solution.
MPRDC officials proposed raising the road by four inches after ensuring proper drainage to prevent future waterlogging.
