Mani Das, an elderly resident from Sakaleswar Basti, Ward 22, shared on IVRS the challenges faced by their settlement due to the lack of a drainage system. Without drainage, rainwater cannot flow easily, leading to waterlogging and stagnant water, and the water gets contaminated, which in turn causes waterborne diseases. Each household has a tank to store wastewater, but this is only a temporary solution if the government provides a drainage facility, it would benefit 175 households in the settlement, significantly helping to improve their living conditions and sanitation.
