Residents Oppose Drain Reconstruction Near Temple
Imagine a road near a temple that often floods during heavy rain.
The government wants to build a new drain to fix the flooding.
However, some people who live nearby are worried the new drain will send all the water to their homes, causing them to flood.
The government says the new drain will actually help stop the flooding by directing the water away from the road and into a natural drainage channel.
They believe it won't flood anyone's homes, and they've spoken to the local government, who agrees with the plan.
Residents are opposing the reconstruction of a peripheral drain near Iskcon Temple.
The NHAI is overseeing the drain's reconstruction on the service lane of NH-16.
Residents fear the drain will cause flooding in their low-lying residential areas.
NHAI claims the drain will prevent waterlogging and consulted with the BMC.
The BMC supports the drain construction to ensure smooth stormwater flow.
