“It’s difficult to differentiate between river and road during a downpour,” exclaimed Lalita Shah, a local, adding, “Our condition is terrible during monsoon. Due to the clogged-drainage the water enters our houses.”
According to the locals, construction materials obstruct the drainage and which result in the flooding, then the peeling of the black-topped roads. Another local, Goma Tamrakar complained that the drain was covered and the slab was also flooded.
