Rains Flood Colonies, Residents Demand Roads and Drainage
Imagine living in a neighborhood where there are no proper roads, just dirt paths with huge holes.
When it rains, these paths turn into muddy puddles mixed with yucky sewage water.
This is happening in many colonies in Nirmal, India.
People living there pay taxes but feel forgotten because their roads and drainage systems are terrible.
During the rainy season, it becomes a real mess, like a muddy river right outside their homes.
They have asked for help many times, but nothing has been done.
The government has recently given some money to these towns to fix things, and the people living there really hope some of that money will be used to build good roads and fix the sewage problems so they don't have to live in mud and muck anymore.
30 suburban colonies across Nirmal, Bhainsa, and Khanapur face severe infrastructural issues with no proper roads or drainage.
Residents endure muddy, sewage-filled pathways, especially during the monsoon season, making daily life hazardous.
Despite paying taxes, residents feel neglected by local authorities and elected representatives.
State government has allocated development funds: Rs 18.75 crore to Nirmal and Rs 15 crore each to Bhainsa and Khanapur.
Residents are demanding that a significant portion of these funds be used to address their urgent road and drainage needs.
