RUDRAPUR: The Terai region witnessed loss of life and property (approximately worth Rs 300 crore) due to heavy rainfall that continued for three consecutive days in October last year. In Rudrapur, the district headquarter of Udham Singh Nagar, people were stranded for 60 hours due to the rain spells. The situation was exacerbated due to several civic issues in the city.
According to residents, civic authorities have not yet taken any concrete steps to avoid a similar situation this year. With monsoon around the corner, residents want immediate cleaning of the city’s only Kalyani river and several nullahs.
