Dear Respected Sir,

Good Morning.

21st August 2022 night, there was heavy rainfall in the Nainwain area, particularly for village RAJALAWATA district Bundi Rajasthan . as per media records total rainfall is reported 219mm in 8hrs only. resulted in a lot of water logging happening nearby the NH 148D between Milestone number 262-263 due to poor planning of NHAI during construction of the road during 2016-17 because there was an old stream/Nala flown from north to south direction for filling of RAJALAWAT TALAB/POND, This Nala/stream collects the rainy water of about 10 KM Radius and flow through the Nala only because there is no way to flow this water through the road. Now the road is the obstacle to this natural water flow. The NHAI authorities laid only one cement pipe dia 1200x1 hence this is not sufficient to take the load of this huge water. There are the following reasons for this water logging in 10-15 KMs radius of this area and all crops of the farmers badly damaged due to water logging. Even about 2 feet of water flew over the road in a span of about 800 meters low lying area at this point of Nala. The main reason for this wager login is the following:-
During the construction of this road, the survey team couldn't do a proper survey of the water flow towards Rajalawata Talab/Pond. They put only 1200x1 cement pipe to flow the water towards Talab of Rajalawata...even this road partially runs through the Talab area...The technical team of the NHAI must be constructed a Bridge about 5 Meters in length so water can be flown quickly and waterlogging can be avoided in the future.
Due to this water logging, the crops of poor farmers are badly ruined.
At that time of road construction, the Villagers reported to NHAI technical team for the making of a bridge in this low-lying area for the free flow of rain waters but they couldn't heed. Even the concerned contractor also did not listen to villagers, resulting in every rainy season such type of water logging problems occurring and damaging the crops
and poor farmers are suffering.
The concerned contractor of this road might be minimized the cost so he could not be built the bridge and simply laid a cement pipe for the flow of huge water.
The Rajasthan government should be carried out the survey of damaged crops and must be paid compensation to all suffered farmers.
The NHAI must be immediately constructed a 5 Meters bridge on this road in place of 1200x1 cement pipes for the free flow of rainy waters.

This is for your information and action, please.

Note:- The pictures and videos of this water logging are being attached to this mail for your kind knowledge.
