Surplus water from Saroornagar lake drowns colonies

Several colonies downstream of Saroornagar Lake experienced heavy flow of flood water post the incessant rains that marked the city for the past few days.

Colonies such as Kodandaram Nagar, VV Nagar, Kamala Nagar and P&T Colony witnessed sudden surge of flood water on the streets two days ago.

Residents had to bear stench and inconvenience as the sewage mixed rainwater kept overflowing from a sewerage manhole for almost two days. Efforts by GHMC’s monsoon emergency teams and local people to contain the overflow did not bear fruit, and the water reached up to Dilsukhnagar.
