Rains cause water logging in Pampore, locals demand proper drainage system

Pampore: Intermittent rains for the past two days have exposed an inadequate drainage system in Saffron town Pampore.

Gazanfar Maqsood, a resident of Tulbagh locality, told Kashmir Reader that a drain in their area along Pampore Khrew road has been choked.
“The rain water has inundated the road and now it is entering into our house premises,” he said, adding that they had asked concerned authorities for repairing the drain but their appeals fell to deaf ears.
He added that they face inconvenience due to the water logging.
Ghulam Nabi Sofi, a resident from Astaan Mohalla Namblabal told Kashmir Reader that water logging on l roads is causing a lot of inconvenience to college students and to local residents.
He said that the rain water has no exit as the concerned department failed to lay a drain along the road.

Mohammad Yaqoob Malik, BJP leader President Municipal Committee Pampore, told Kashmir Reader that he was approached by various locals who apprised him about water logging in various areas.
