Subject: Water logging in the city due to rains
Sir,
I am a regular reader of your national daily and wish to utilize its columns to highlight the problem of water logging and traffic jams in the city caused due to the recent rains.
The life of the common man was completely disrupted as local transport services were disrupted. Many vehicles were submerged as the drainage system in the city is poor. Plastic and other waste clog the drains, the slope of the roads is incorrect and there are not enough flyovers to bypass the submerged roads. The authorities need to improve the drainage system, resurface the roads and make more flyovers to improve the conditions. An alternate transport system, like Delhi’s underground Metro railway, needs to be started.
I hope that the concerned authorities will take appropriate action promptly.
Yours sincerely,
Renu
