[Resolved]  Lucknow Municipal Corporation — Dug up road, heaps of mudd : Life is worse than hell.

Address:

Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

Dear Sir/Madam

This is with reference to the water supply, sewage, road construction project undertaken by Lucknow Municipal Corporation to Kharika Telibagh Lucknow few months back.

We are residing 8 KMs away from Uttar Pradesh Vidhan Sabha and the Lucknow Municipal Corporation. This area came in the Lucknow Nagar Nigam 20 years back. My house is 1.5 KMs from Telibagh (Raibareilly Lucknow Road).

Lack of road, water, pole lights, law gives ample proof that LMC doesn’t work in co-ordination with other departments because of their negligence we have to suffer. Though we pay full charges to the rickshaw it drops us far off from our destination sighting the reason of dug up roads.

LMC could have easily taken up the project after completing one after another, they has never bothered for its residents.

To add to the problems Municipality has stopped all the water supply, sewage and road construction work leaving behind heaps of dug up roads 8-9 feet deep, mud, unused girdles, rods and blocks of other material scattered on the road all over leading to sprained ankles and foot injuries to many people who have no other route than these roads to reach the connecting road (rai bareilyy road, telibagh).

The monsoon is here and we have much to worry about, instead of enjoying the pleasant weather. The dug-up roads across the colony turned slippery and there is water logging after every shower making commuting a nightmarish experience.
No one is monitoring day-to-day progress of this road construction project. It was on halt more than 2 months.

With the recent rain episode, whatever little we had in terms of roads has now become a figment of our imaginations. Here we need cranes to get from one place to another. We use rooftop to commute. Some o[censored]s even start from home the prior day to get to office on time. We can’t take our vehicle to our home. Children can’t go to their school. We can’t walk the road with our foot wears on. Cycle, motorcycle, car, nothing can pass. Even slum is better than this colony road.

So here we are, threatening to become a world superpower, but we haven’t figured out how to make a road that can survive the rains.

When the government will decide whether they are going to be kind enough to us citizens and give us roads. After all we only pay 30+ plus per¬cent of what we earn to the government to give us a semblance of a road, seem it is not enough to give us decent roads. I request to concerned officials if you kindly visit this place once.

Frequent accidents occurring due to dug up road. Now digging and trenching work is on halt as funds have been finished. They have not restored the already dug up roads and contractor went off. It is not monsoon but people can not even walk past that road. No cycle or two wheeler can cross that road.

Even if work continues, they never ensured us that there is no flooding and the work causes no problems during monsoon to road users

The officials should come up with a plan to tackle:

• Shortage of road building material

• Estimation and Allocation of funds to complete the project,

• During monsoon water logging and bad roads

I would suggest all concerned officials to pay a visit to this area to see 7-8 feet dug up roads. Sewage chamber 9 – 10 feet deep excavated in the center of the road. No connecting roads. People have to park their vehicle 1.5 KM away and walk down to their houses through roofs.

A bit too long but still I hope you read this piece of complain and take some positive action.

I look forward for your reply.

Thanks & Regards,
