It is not without danger to come out here
On the instructions of Municipal Commissioner Ankit Khandelwal, a claim was made on Thursday to conduct a survey of damaged culverts and open manholes. But, even 24 hours after the accident, the reality on the ground did not change. Amar Ujala team investigated. A culvert built six months ago in front of a bank in Awas Vikas Colony Sector-4 was found damaged. There is darkness on the broken bridge. Someone may die at night.
Complaint is not heard
Regional councilor Gajendra Pippal says that the complaint is not heard. The cover of the sewer manhole in Sulahkul Nagar located at Maruti Estate intersection collapsed. Vehicles are passing overhead. A major accident may occur.
Resident Society President Rakesh Sharma says that the sewer and manhole maintenance agency is charging crores of rupees every year. Even after this, covers are not being installed on the damaged manholes.
How many more lives will be lost?
Social activist Naresh Paras has written a letter to the DM and Municipal Commissioner after the accident on Shankargarh culvert. Demand has been raised for criminal prosecution against the culprits and compensation to the victims. Also asked how many more lives will be lost, only then will those responsible open their eyes and ears.
