ADVANCE PLANNING IS CRUCIAL

The waterlogging makes life miserable for pedestrians as well as drivers whose vehicles get stranded. Bumpy roads because of the potholes too can cause spinal injuries and lead to fatal accidents. Manholes and drains are not cleared on time. These get choked over time with grass and overgrowth. The authorities should prepare for monsoon every year in advance and set aside funds for the same. Care should be taken to ensure no lives are lost because of damaged roads, careless planning.
