Tourists face significant difficulties during their travels, while residents of the area are forced to live in a stinky environment, like living in hell.

Sham Sunder Sachdeva, a resident, said that for years, residents of Street No. 6, located at the eighth cross, have been suffering from these sewage blocks. People are forced to make great efforts to move around their own homes and shops. The street had been reconstructed last year with much fanfare after decades but the relief appears to be minimal.

Residents are facing difficulties in moving around due to the stagnant water, which is a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other diseases. The locals have urged the municipal administration to quickly restore the sewage system and ensure that the stagnant water is drained from various locations. They also demand that accountability should be fixed for poor maintenance.
