| Address: | Nagpur - SBI Colony, MIDC Hingana Road |
We are in nagpur since lockdown with our parental house, living in the area of sbi colony, midc hingna road, which is a good locality of the peoples who are highly educated. The newly metro train line is running very near to our locality, having 2 stations within 300 meters and a forest little wood is beside our colony where good numbers of peoples visiting morning and evening for a walk.
In the month of april 2020, we notice insects in the water, which are supplied by the nmc water supply department. We made complaint to nmc officials and after few days they were visited and instead given solution and immediate action, tried to convince us it’s not the issue of water supply. They were tried to start to find out the problem and when to dig the road to see the water pipeline and observed that the water pipeline is broken and mixed with the sewer line (A new sewer line which is constructed 8 months back) and the sewer line having a big issue, the gaps among the pipeline, the elevation of the pipeline is not aligned to flow biological waste and water. The water from the sewer line was mixing in the drinking water supply and contaminated the drinking water.
Despite of that, engineers and officials were not taken any action and seem handicapped to resolve the issues and problems associated. When we involve local corporate then the problem was resolved and since then our drinking water supply without contamination started receiving.
The problems of the sewer line are still to be resolved. I have made several (30 number) online complaints with video, pictures on nagpur live app, twitter, facebook, and email to all the officials including commissioners and the mayor but no response and even no-reply with courtesy to visiting the site.. Only 2 times grade 4 employees were visited and roam around the area and gone back. The area becomes so disastrous in the rainy season, the sewer line water flows on streets and road, even back in toilets and become hell-like conditions. I spoke with many officials over the phone which are assistant commissioner, executive engineers, engineers but their answer to blame someone and not giving any solutions. Even surrounding society residents pump water of their houses on the road and making it flooded, and no one cares.
With all above my experience and my personal observation, the smart city dream which we would like to see in the future or having good services to citizens will only is a dream and with such government officials we cannot build good cities with highly effective infrastructure in india. I do not see any major milestone can be achieved towards the building india in direction of smart cities, if we could not get basic amenities to be with good condition, the quality with good workmanship, we will be very far from having electronic and automated services.
I think we are moving towards a disastrous cities instead smart city and who will take the onus of this?
