BBMP Ward number-86 — Open drain causing health issues

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka

Hello, Iam residing at Marathahalli, 4th cross Vinayaka layout and there is a open drain which flows adjacent to my home and my neighbours as well. All the waste including human waste also connected to that drain and every now and then it gets blocked by waste materials or by rat making holes etc. This causes serious health issues to all the neighbours. We have requested so many times to the councillor to close the drain. Worst part is, when ever heavy rain comes, drain gets filled in and drain water enters our house.There are many kids also staying and it poses serious health issues to elder people and also to kids. We can't bear the smell as well. I don't know what is stopping BBMP from covering this drain. Due to this open drain, lot of rats, snakes, worms also entering our house. Request you to please take this issue on priority and close the drain. regards Manoj
