The villagers of Behrampora, Chukar area of north Kashmir’s Baramulla district on Tuesday expressed anguish against the non-functional of drainage system in the village.
People residing in the village alleged that the authorities are not speeding up the process of ensuring improper drainage system from Wani Mohalla to Ganie Mohalla, which has created immense difficulties to them over the last 10 years.
As per locals, the damaged drain has been blocked by household waste, polythene, and plastic waste. “During rainfall, the lanes of village submerge in water, thus causing hardships to local residents,” they said.
“The drainage system has been in worst shape for a long time and all the unclean water gets accumulated in the drain for a long time, which produce a foul smell and causes inconvenience while moving around,” said Hashim Ahmad, a local resident.
“During Covid crises, health officials of Pattan block carried out sanitation drive, but unfortunately on Block level neither sanitation was carried nor repairment,” he said
Another local said that they have approached BDO office Wailoo, Kunzer, for a long time, but so far nothing has been done.
Meanwhile, locals appeal Deputy Commissioner, Baramulla and Block Development Officer, Wailoo to look into the issue.
