Mangaluru: Chronic waterlogging witnessed on service road near Pumpwell flyover


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (ANK)

Mangaluru, May 29: With continuous rainfall all through the night and morning, people in several parts of the city on Saturday May 29, woke up to severe waterlogging. The situation was worse at Pumpwell junction.

The district witnessed good rain which led to waterlogging in several places. Many roads were submerged with rain water thereby causing inconvenience to motorists and pedestrians.

The service roads beneath Pumpwell flyover witnessed chronic waterlogging. The vehicular movement in the region has turned pathetic as people coming to buy essentials to Mangaluru from 6 am to 10 am were seen struggling to move in their respective vehicles.

A commuter on condition of anonymity said, “A few hours of rains inundating several roads shows the shabby work of the concerned authorities.”

A video regarding the same has gone viral on social media.

    Mangaluru: Chronic waterlogging witnessed on the service road near Pumpwell flyover. For seventy years this type of rain never came and Congress did not think of it. It is all congress created. Even this type of rain is coming because of congress.

    I’m ashamed! It’s a sad story of our inefficiency, failures and absolute corruption right from the top to the bottom. If it happened in a developed country all the concerned would have been behind the bars. But in India it’s business as usual.

    G:R PrabhujiMangalore instead of a strong Pumpset ,better a good set to clean all drainage workso that water flows in instead of blocking on the roads.The best award should have given to the Engineer who built this flyover and surroundings.Must have brought him to show his work and made him to clear as soon as possible.This flyover is a big disaster in whole.

    I was amazed and amused today when a couple of my friends from BJP said JR Lobo is responsible for this. It shows that right from top to bottom the scheme of all things is the same. There is a pattern. When nothing happens, when the bjp dont have answers, just blame the Congress. Right from 2013 when they started spreading false rumours about Congress, the bjp knows well how to shoot from congress shoulder. Till date their fuel has been only lies lies and lies.

    Ok let us assume the Gandhi family looted India. Now it's the right time to jail all of them so bjp can rule another 20 years. If they aren't jailed even after 7 years of bjp rule then please dear Sir remember your govt haven't event tried investigating. Even if they did they haven't found a single case of corruption. Even Chidambaram had to be released. It is unfortunate that bjp has totally destroyed India so much that we have to receive help from Africa. Dear Sir this your country as much as it is mine. Open your eyes. Because we got to leave something for our kids. Atleast not a country in deep debt...

    Now also it's not too late. Central Government and our administration and representative can think one more time and demolish the Flyover within a day ( LOKE OUR CENTRAL MARKET DEMOLISHED) AND get NEW Flyover from a reputed construction company. . If the work done in war foot measure, they can finish within 15 months. And along with smart city projects also hand over to them, other wise this will never ending problems. Otherwise mandalorian have to sell their vehicles and go for motor boats.

    Shri. Nalin Kumar Kateel, The Contractor, The Engineers & Highway Authority is fully responsible for the chronic incidence which happened in Pumpwell today. The Great Engineers are totally failed in providing proper rain water flow through underground. I am not supporting any political party but, being a Citizen of this nation my concern I have raised.

No proper covid management, no proper roads...Only job of these useless people to blame Nehru and previous governments. What the current government at centre which was in power for the last 7 years has done for the common man? Demonetization affected only poor, sold many public sector undertakings to Adani and Ambani. This government works only for these crooks.

    What has been highlighted is only at Pumpwell flyover ? Similar condition ( water logging ) is seen at the underpass near Reliance Petrol Pump just before K.C. Road on the way to Talapady .It is also a part of the same contractor who has carried out the work on the highway. Just because it is not closer to the city it is not highlighted .
