WE, the residents of Gul Mohar Street, Gurumandar, Garden East, would like to draw the attention of the authorities concerned towards the blocked sewerage line in our locality. This is causing severe flooding, besides breeding mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches and destroying the road.

Please note the problem is affecting everyone in the locality, including residents, shopkeepers and children playing outside. Officials concerned are requested to direct their staff to attend to the problem on a priority basis and relieve the residents of the mental and physical torture as the situation is getting worse day by day.
