Sub. - Difficulties due to water logging in our locality
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily I, a resident of Sarenga, would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to the untold sufferings of the people of our locality due to water-logging in the rainy season.
In absence of any modern drainage system even a short spell of shower is enough to cause water logging in the area. As most of the drains are clogged with plastics, drains easily overflow and remain stagnant for days. Mosquitoes find a happy breeding-ground in the stagnant water and diseases like Malaria and Dengue are so very common. Residents have to live in an unhygienic condition during the entire rainy season. The school-going children and office-goers have to wade through knee-deep water and passing vehicles often splash dirty water upon the pedestrians. Repeated appeals to the B.D.O. have fallen to the deaf ears.
Therefore, the government should take some steps to alleviate the suffering of the people of our locality. Thanking you.
Yours faithfully,
Xyz
