JAMMU July 12: Waterlogging at many places, garbage and litter on city roads and streets, dirty water gushing out of the sewerage holes, blocked drains and entering residential houses and shops with moving vehicles splashing dirty water on passersby and those on two wheelers, was all the City of Temples witnessed today due to heavy downpour which marked the advent of monsoon this year.
While the affected people questioned unpreparedness of Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) which was supposed to de-silt drains and Nallahs much before the start of rainy season to avoid damages, the worst hit areas remained Gumat-Jogi Gate area, Rajiv Nagar near Bikram Chowk, Gandhi Nagar, Nanak Nagar, Kalika Colony, Bantalab etc.
