Rajnandgaon Municipal Corporation has intensified civic action ahead of the monsoon and upcoming Ganesh festival, focusing on road repairs, drain cleaning, streetlight restoration, encroachment removal and drinking water supply. Special monitoring is also underway in waterlogging-prone areas, while measures are being taken to improve sanitation and control stray cattle.
Rajnandgaon Mayor Madhusudan Yadav and Municipal Commissioner G.R. Markam conducted a joint inspection of Chikhli Deendayal Nagar following waterlogging caused by continuous rainfall and directed officials to take immediate measures for drainage, cleaning and removal of obstructions.
Heavy rainfall has caused waterlogging at Rajnandgaon District Hospital, disrupting X-ray services and affecting patients. Congress leader Rishi Shastri has blamed inadequate drainage and alleged irregular urban development, calling for stricter action against officials and colonisers.
Leader of Opposition Santosh Pille has alleged that inadequate pre-monsoon preparations by the Rajnandgaon Municipal Corporation led to widespread waterlogging after two days of heavy rainfall. He claimed that repeated requests for drain cleaning and road repairs were ignored, affecting several wards across the city.
गुड़गांव का गोल्फ कोर्स रोड, जहां 100 करोड़ रुपये तक की लग्जरी संपत्तियां स्थित हैं, हाल की बारिश में जलभराव से बेहाल हो गया। सोशल मीडिया पर वायरल वीडियो में सड़कें तालाब में बदलती दिखीं और महंगी कारें पानी में डूबी नजर आईं। निवासियों ने प्रशासन और कमजोर ड्रेनेज सिस्टम पर सवाल उठाते हुए कहा कि इतनी महंगी संपत्तियों के बावजूद हर मानसून में यही हाल होता है। विशेषज्ञों का मानना है कि अगर बुनियादी ढांचे में सुधार नहीं हुआ तो इस इलाके की रियल एस्टेट कीमतों पर असर पड़ सकता है।
