Belonia, 19 June 2022: Extreme misery of common people due to extreme negligence of Public Works Department. This time the picture is in front of Sai Baba temple at Maichara, Kalabaria under Belonia subdivision. Water just above the knee in a flat road. As there is no drainage system, this misery is being borne by the local people starting from vehicles.
For the past three to four years the same situation has been on the way from Belonia to Shantirbazar in front of the Sai Baba temple at Maichra, Kalabaria. Large holes have been created under the water in the road. On the other hand, cars, bikes and ordinary people are constantly getting into accidents while going through one knee of water.
Although the Public Works Department was repeatedly informed about this, nothing was done. The locals have repeatedly demanded that the drainage system be made by raising the road a little through this place only. But the Department of Public Works was not seen to pay any attention to this matter.
Water have reached above the knees in an hour of rain on Sunday morning. Several vehicles have been involved in accidents. The drivers have expressed their anger over this.
Besides, a local youth is seen bathing in the street expressing strong contempt against the administration. He has turned the road into a pond, he has bathed and swam in a fancy way with soap and pushed the administration towards shame.
This has created curiosity among the local people.
