SRINAGAR: The residents of Naidyar, Rainaiwari area of Srinagar expressed resentment against the Urban Environmental Engineering Department (UEED) for failing to repair the drainage system in the area. As per the residents, the district administration has failed to repair the defunct drainage. The UEED Srinagar constructed a drain but the road was not repaired leaving them ‘high and dry.’
Iqbal Hussain, a local said that they approached UEED department many times, but to not avail. During emergencies we have to take alternative routes to reach on the main road,” he said. Another resident Ghulam Nabi said that during rains the potholes and ditches remain filled with mud and water.
“Some employees of UEED department started the repairing process but after some time they went absconding,” he said. Nabi said condition of the road never improved due to the lackadaisical attitude of the concerned authorities. Residents demanded that the drains in the colony should be repaired as soon as possible so people would not suffer anymore. They appealed district administration and SMC Mayor to intervene in the matter.
