Nabha unprepared for Monsoon: Locals fear damaged roads, poor drainage systems
Damaged roads, poor drainage systems, Nabha unprepared for Monsoon Damaged roads, poor drainage systems and overgrowth of weeds in drains or nullahs are already to mark monsoon as one of the toughest time for the residents of Nabha region. Shiromani Akali Dal had granted ₹4 crore for development works in Nabha when they were in power. However, as the Congress came to power, it stalled their work and payment, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) candidate Kabir Dass said. 'Over a dozen outer colonies occupying around 15 percent of the overall area in the city, lack proper roads, sewage systems and drainage facilities and thus face all sorts of problems during rains and otherwise,' he added. As the rainy season is approaching, most of the sewage pipes in the city remain unused as they are neither connected to the main sewage lines, nor to the lines in houses at colonies, such as, Model Colony, Kartarpura Mohalla, Shivpuri among others. Despite protests, the drainage system remains a major issue in the area. The residents of Hira Mahal colony even announced boycott during assembly elections but to no avail. -PTC News
