Waterlogging remains a persistent problem in Sopore

Sopore, Feb 21: After fresh snowfall and the incessant rains most of the residential areas of north Kashmir’s Sopore town remained waterlogged causing huge inconvenience to the locals.

All the roads are water logged throwing life out of gear. Sopore`s Model Town, Badambagh, Tulibal, New Colony and many other areas of town were the worst hit due to water logging.

Mushtaq Ahmad, a local resident said, “No dewatering pumps were used to drain the waters from the roads and streets.”

Incessant rains led to water logging and water entered into many houses and schools. The rains exposed the defunct drainage system and the callous attitude of the government, said locals. Residents said that due to the poor drainage system in the entire Sopore town, water logging has become a worry for them.
