Continuous rainfall in the season has once again exposed the fragile civic infrastructure in Naseerabad area of Sopore, as several localities were inundated, leaving the area resembling a lake.
Overflowing drains and an inadequate drainage system resulted in rainwater entering residential houses, causing widespread inconvenience to the locals. Multiple areas remained waterlogged, with streets submerged and normal life severely disrupted.
Residents said that the situation forced local People to shut schools for three days, while many families faced immense hardship as water seeped into their homes, damaging household belongings and forcing them to shift to safer locations.
Locals expressed strong resentment, stating that such issues recur every year during the rainy season, but no concrete measures have been taken so far.
“We face the same situation every year, but nothing changes,” said a local resident.
The aggrieved residents have urged the administration to take immediate steps to improve the drainage system, ensure proper desilting of drains, and provide necessary relief to the affected families.
