Talking to The Sentinel, a resident of Ajanta Path said, “I’m tired of complaining it to the department concerned for cleaning the drains. For six months I haven’t seen any GMC workers to clean the drains that are choked with garbage. A smart spell of rain for half an hour is enough to inundate the path, leading to water-logging in the area.” A man doing business in Ajanta Path said, “It’s the irresponsibility on the part of the GMC that makes people in the area inhale foul air day in, day out. Besides that I have tried all the telephone numbers available in GMC website to inform it of the problem. However, not a single number given in the website is active. Getting frustrated, I had to engage other people at my own cost to clean the drains. If this situation is allowed for long, the residents in the locality will soon fall ill. Negligence on the part of the civic body is glaring. Some 12 streetlights on Japath in the area glow round the clock. How come such wastage of power is allowed by the civic body?”
