Padua, 3rd Oct 2025: At Banjalaput Chhak under Kulabira Panchayat in Nandapur block, Koraput district, drain water is visibly overflowing onto the road.
Both sides of the connecting road between the P.W.D. road and the Hatibari R.D. road are lined with drains that are now choked with silt and garbage. As a result, drain water is not being properly discharged and is spilling over onto the main road.
This stagnant drain water is not only polluting the environment but also causing inconvenience and health hazards.
The situation has caused dissatisfaction among pedestrians, vehicle drivers, local shopkeepers, and commuters who use this state highway that connects Jeypore and Visakhapatnam.
The public has appealed to the P.W.D., R.D. Department, and Panchayati Raj Administration to take urgent action, clean the drains, and repair the damaged road.
