Many low-lying areas across the city have been bearing the brunt of waterlogging following heavy rain over the past few days.
For instance, some neighbourhoods in the Kishan Bagh area, such as Asad Baba Nagar and Mahmood Nagar, were affected. Those in the know said approximately 45 houses in those areas remained affected. As a precautionary measure, public representatives, police and government officials had requested them to temporarily move out.
“The DCP and as well as the MRO had come here to speak to those who live here. There are around 25 houses in Asad Baba Nagar and another 15-16 houses in Mahmood Nagar which are affected. We are extended all help possible,” said Kishan Bagh Corporator Hussaini Pasha.
