A waterlogged road in Laxmanpur is disrupting daily movement after rainfall, with pedestrians struggling to pass and 2-wheeler riders navigating through muddy water. The affected area falls within Vikasnagar municipality.
The problem continues even after the rain stops because the accumulated water does not drain away. In several stretches, standing water covers parts of the road, making it difficult for drivers to judge its surface and increasing the risk of skidding or accidents.
Residents report recurring drainage problem
Local residents Rakesh Sharma, Anil Lodha, Sunny Chauhan, Deepak Jain, Bheemdatta Sharma and Sachin Thapa said the waterlogging returns whenever it rains. They attributed the recurring disruption to inadequate drainage arrangements in the area.
According to the residents, the drains are not functioning well enough to carry away rainwater. As a result, water remains on the road for a long time, while potholes become concealed beneath the surface.
That creates an additional hazard for people using the road. Vehicle users cannot easily see uneven sections or potholes, particularly when water and mud spread across the carriageway. The danger becomes greater at night, when visibility is already reduced.
Pedestrians also face difficulty when vehicles pass through the flooded sections. Dirty water splashes onto people walking along the road, adding to the inconvenience caused by the stagnant water.
Municipality directs sewer-line agency to act
Residents have asked the municipal administration to remove the standing water from the affected locations and improve drainage arrangements. Their demand focuses on restoring safe passage for both pedestrians and vehicles.
Dheeraj Bobby Nautiyal, chairman of Vikasnagar Municipality, said the agency laying the sewer line had been directed to take necessary steps to resolve the waterlogging problem. The statement indicates that action is expected through the agency involved in the sewer-line work.
The reported issue has also affected the road surface, as prolonged water accumulation is damaging it. Until the water is drained and the underlying drainage problem is addressed, residents may continue to face disrupted movement whenever rain returns.
Conclusion
Laxmanpur’s -rain waterlogging is making the road difficult and risky to use. Residents want drainage restored, while the municipal chairman says the sewer-line agency has been instructed to take corrective measures.
