Mangaluru, Jul 4: The monsoon has intensified rapidly in the district, causing a house located at Adyar Dhota, on the way to Bonda Factory, to be completely submerged for the past three days.

A one-story house belonging to Vikram Shetty has faced this issue for the past three years. The road leading to the Bonda Factory also becomes submerged due to the lack of a proper drainage system, causing waterlogging throughout the stretch.

In that area, there are several houses and schools, but the road leading to them is completely waterlogged due to the inadequate drainage system.

Vikram was forced to stay in a rented house in 2021 during the monsoon. There was some hope when the concerned authorities laid the foundation stone for drainage work, but unfortunately, the work has not commenced to date, resulting in the house being submerged for the third consecutive year.

Each year, the house owner and other residents have demanded a quick solution from the MLA and district administration, but for three years, they have faced the same issue.

Vikram also rents out the first floor, but the occupants preferred to stay with relatives after the waterlogging. Vikram, along with his family and small child, suffers every monsoon and has to shift to his wife's residence.

Along with Vikram's residence, Vijay D'Souza's house is also waterlogged, while Ayesha's house collapsed two years ago.
