Sopore,29-Apr,: Residents of Alsafa colony A in north Kashmir’s Sopore town are facing immense problems due to Waterlogging in the locality.A delegation from the area told CNS that the road connecting the locality and its adjacent areas with the main road is dotted with potholes.“During rains, dilapidated roads turn into cesspools. We face problems venturing out of our homes due to Waterlogging. We have been moving from pillar to post to repair the road, but no action has been taken so far,” said locals.Locals said Waterlogging on the dilapidated road is taking a toll on the health of most of the locals who are suffering from viral infection.They said due to dilapidated roads, accidents frequently occur in the area. “Many vehicles have suffered damages due to the bad condition of the road,” they said.Locals said the problem is compounded by the defunct drainage system. “Most of the drains are blocked in our area. During rains, lanes get waterlogged confining us to home,” they rued.“We are just a few metres away from the main road and we are being deprived of development. Be it during rains or dry weather, our area is always inundated. We have to put on long boots to go out for emergencies,” they said.
