Bhopal: Post the torrential rain, life limped back to normalcy in Bhopal on Sunday. It was a big relief for people that it did not rain during the day so all household belongings soaked in rain water were spread in open for drying up in various colonies. Disrupted power supply hit the piped-water supply in various colonies so people had to struggle to fetch the drinking water in the morning.
Besides, mud, filth and silts accumulated after the heavy rains have posed another big problem in various colonies particularly in low lying areas.
Most of the city roads have been completely worn off as not only bitumen layer has been washed off but also roads got cracks and potholes and commuters had to face problems while driving.
Residents of various colonies had to remove the deposition of sand, filth, silts from their campus. Water-logging has receded in colonies but problems did not ease out.
These colonies include Karond, Kotra, Mahamai ka Bag, Ginnori, Shahpura (sector-C), Chuna Bhatti, Kolar, Misrod, Radhakunj, Ayodhya By-pass, Ashoka Garden, Kampu ka Bag, Pushpa Nagar (80ft Road), Aishbag, Jathkhedi, Chhatrasal Nagar, Karamvir Nagar, Nizamuddin Colony, Sonagiri, Kalpana Nagar, Ganpati Enclave (Kolar).
Residents of said colonies were busy in siphoning the rainwater and taking out the wet household items on rooftops of the buildings for drying.
However, they had to face brunt of disruption of water supply with cracking the dawn.
District collector Nishant Warbade has constituted 40 survey teams which have been told to submit report within three days about excessive rain-hit families. ADM Ratnakar Jha has been made in-charge to redress the grievances.
