Heavy rains hit normal life
Traffic disrupted due to waterlogging in main road
Inundates low-lying areas
Raipur, July 07, 2010
Heavy rains lashed the capital city on Wednesday inundating low-lying areas and throwing normal life out of gear. The rains, which began about 2.45 pm and continued for about 40 minutes, caused severe inconvenience to people living in low-lying areas and to the commuters.
Rain water entered into nearly 20 low lying areas including some housing colonies causing hardship to the people. No loss of human or damage to property has been reported from any part of the city so far, informed the RMC officials.
The RMC authorities have not yet commenced draining out water from several the submerged low lying areas. The affected people of some areas confirmed that neither the municipal had used suction pumps to take out water nor had pressed its special gangs in their areas to bring down the life to normalcy taking prompt action.
The heavy showers not only flooded low lying areas like Dharam Nagar, Hanuman Nagar, Veerbhadra Nagar, Chhattisgarh Nagar, Vidya Nagar, Nehru Nagar, Kali Nagar, Chandi Nagar, Ram Nagar, Durga Nagar, etc, but even caused waterlogging in several colonies and main roads including GE road near Coffee House. Even Netaji Subhash stadium turned into a pond due to rains.
Overflowing open drains added to people’s woes. Vehicular traffic was thrown out of gear in several areas in the central part of the city as almost all the roads were waterlogged.
The RMC Commissioner Om Prakash Choudhary and Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak had sternly directed the officials to remain alert to deal with any contingency. The Health Officer Dr Amrit Chopra also took stock of the situation from the zonal health teams and asked them to keep an eye on the low-lying areas where water-borne diseases quickly erupt in wake of heavy showers.
Vehicles were also seen stranded at the roadsides in the outskirts of the city in Ring Road No 1 and 2 as well as at Tatibandh-based Transport Nagar, Pachpedi Naka, Bhanpuri and Ravabhatha.
While the Raipurians welcomed the fresh spells of rains that considerably brought down the temperature, they could not control their anger against the civic body and district administration for once again failing to do necessary preparations to prevent the waterlogging and inundation problems in the capital during monsoon rains.
A traffic police, who was trying to manage traffic at Sharda Chowk, said the waterlogging at main roads, especially at GE road was mainly due to the outdated drainage system.
When the heavy showers inundated low-lying areas like Nehru Nagar, Veerbhadra Nagar and Hanuman Nagar due to overflowing nullah, the local corporator Mahadev Nayak immediately sought help from the RMC demolition gang to deal the situation. The demolition squad reached the area along with 3D machine and broke a portion of the boundary wall of Budha Talab on Nayak’s directives that eventually drained out excess water from the submerged areas into the pond. Later, Mayor Kiranmayi Nayak reached inspected the three rain-hit areas and instructed the officials to remove garbage including polythene waste from the overflowing nullah and to clean it till the bottom.
