Various residential and commercial areas are reportedly facing heavy sewerage problem since the rain lashed Udaipur on Tuesday. Sewage pits are propelling the filthy and stinking water spreading all over the road.

The improper drainage system and sluggish response from administration is creating a threatening situation for the upcoming days of rain.

Shop owners and residents of New Ashwini Bazaar had a bad day as drainage water swelled all over the road since the last 24 hours. At last, after continuous slogging and attempts, the Municipal Council’s team brought the situation under control.

Jayesh Champawat, President of Ashwini Bazaar Business Association said that “It is very annoying as the administration and their representatives are doing almost nothing to solve the problem and our day to day work has been hampered due to this.”

Muslim Ali Bandookwala, Councilor of Ward no. 47 told that a team has been sent to the spot and they are working to sort the problem.

“We had given a written application to the District Collector about this, and if the problem is not solved within 7-8 days then the business association will come on the streets and the administration will have to face the consequences,” said Jayesh.

Not only Ashwini Bazar, New Swami Nagar, Santosh Nagar, Bhamashah Nagar (old Aalu factory), Aawri Mata slum area, Shobhagpura, etc are also facing the same problems.

There is still no proper drainage system in most of the colonies and even slight rains can hamper the day-to-day life in these areas.

In the old city there are buildings that are still in deplorable condition and besides these there is a heavy web of high voltage electricity lines passing over the roofs and one can only imagine the kind of damage a simple short circuit can cause.

Moreover, due to the rain, two youngsters at Machla Magra died when a wall fell upon them in the wee hours at 3:30 am today. A tree fell down at Mahasatya road Ayad and another near BSNL office Sec. 3.
