Kaup: Artificial flood on national highway leaves locals concerned


Daijiworld Media Network – Kaup (MS)

Kaup, May 31: Artificial flood affected in the vicinity of the bus stand near Kaup Vidyaniketana educational institute by the side of NH 66 due to the one hour of rain that lashed in the morning on Tuesday.

As the rain water was flowing on the road, vehicle riders had to drive in fear of getting stuck in a pothole or water damaging parts of the vehicle.

Most of the two-wheeler riders took shelter in the nearby bus stop. However, the rain water started rising around the bus stand. This panicked everyone taking shelter at the bus stand. Most of the two-wheelers were sunk in water and the riders had a tough time to start the engine.

Locals say that this artificial flood is the result of unscientific road work done on the national highway. Some shops and nearly 20 houses are located behind the bus stand. People living in this area face a lot of hardship during the rainy season as the rain water enters the house and damages all household items.

There is a government higher primary school also in the vicinity. Children studying in this school also are inconvenienced. This issue has persisted since many years. Though locals have raised complaints with the town municipality, taluk administration, NHAI and Navayuga company, no one is bothered to resolve the same according to the opinion of the locals of the area.

    NHAI consists of people who got their jobs because of reservation and not because of compitance. The result of this is right before your eyes.

    If this is the situation at the start of the first rains, imagine how it's going to be when it really starts pouring.

    Our Earth 3/4 consists of water and rest land. When glaciers of ice in Antratica and other places started to melt..ofcourse sea water is going to increase and flooding all over. It's called nature..survival the fittest. On other hand human-beings are on verge of war in between Orthodox Christian and Roman Ukrainans and Sunni Saudis and Yemen Houthis Shias. How we can stop them. They themselves turn earth into disaster while holding so many ammunitions. Dont think much..today alive tks the god. Earth is becoming bad day by day and need power. Noone thinks to save mother earth...when you conquer...all over in the name of religion.
