In Nizampet, overflowing drains and knee-deep water in colonies are common during the monsoon. Locals are frustrated with the lack of a permanent solution from the Nizampet Municipal Corporation to address the issue.
Residents have been demanding that the civic body quickly lay the long-proposed stormwater drains to prevent waterlogging in nearby areas. Even light rains cause entire lanes to flood with a mix of rainwater and sewage, showing the ongoing struggle residents have faced for years.
Despite sending many complaints to officials, last year’s proposed stormwater drains remain only on paper, with no funds allocated for the project. Officials keep delaying the work, claiming it will start after the Lok Sabha elections, but no progress has been made even after the elections.
Residents like Sai Teja and Sai Kumar express their frustration with the situation. They say that every time it rains, their colony gets flooded, causing sleepless nights. Despite promises from officials to address the issue after the elections, no action has been taken to prevent waterlogging in the area.
