Ludhiana: The incessant rain left many roads inundated in the city on Wednesday. Even as the municipal corporation officials claim to have solved the problem of waterlogging in many areas, they have failed to address it near their Zone C office at Gill Road.
The worst hit areas were Chandigarh Road, Fountain Chowk, Gill Road, Jamalpur and Hambran Road, among others.
Due to the construction of an elevated road at Ferozepur Road, commuters are forced to take diversions. The showers made them drive through stretches riddled with potholes full of rainwater.
Dr Premjit Singh, a resident of Chandigarh Road, said, “Even light rain is enough to flood Chandigarh Road. I had raised the matter with the CM office and my complaint was marked to the MC officials, but it has not been effectively addressed.”
LUDHIANA: Even as the city received scattered rainfall on Sunday, it left some areas waterlogged.
The showers flooded Ferozepur Road, Chandigarh Road and Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar. Residents said the authorities were yet to come out with a plan to resolve the problem, which bugs these areas every year.
Chandigarh Road and Ferozepur Road have come under National Highways Authority of India due to an ongoing construction work there.
A resident of Chandigarh Road, Dr Premjit Singh, said, “After a five-minute rainfall, our area was flooded. Sewerage lines are blocked from Jamalpur to Shingaar Cinema. The problem will not be resolved if these are not cleaned. Water from dyeing units in Focal Point adds to the area woes. Every monsoon, Chandigarh Road gets flooded at least 25 times.”
ISL 2020-21: Time for Odisha s youngsters to pull up their socks Goal 10/12/2020 Soham Mukherjee
Odisha FC is one of the few Indian Super League (ISL) clubs who have chosen to stick to their philosophy of promoting young Indian talent through thick and thin. Over the years, they have continued to back talented youngsters such as Shubham Sarangi, Nandhakumar Sekar, Vinit Rai, and others to the hilt with the trust that they will bloom.
Sarangi even went to Qatar s famed Aspire Academy to hone his skills, making the most of a strategic partnership with the ISL outfit. Since making his debut with Delhi Dynamos in 2018-19 he has played 30 matches clocking over 2100 minutes. Yet the youngster has made a few errors in defence and has given away a few cheap penalties.
