Ludhiana: Broken roads, overflowing sewers residents’ nightmare

Residents on Tajpur Road in Ludhiana face broken roads, overflowing sewage, waterlogged streets, neglected parks, and poor sanitation daily.

Rain leaves streets submerged in a mixture of rainwater and sewage, making walking, driving, and leaving homes difficult.

Protests by dairy owners on May 8 included dumping cow dung outside the municipal corporation's zone-D office after closure of a local dairy waste disposal point.

Unprocessed cow dung chokes municipal drains, worsening sewer blockages and waterlogging, according to locals.

Area councillor Jatinder said municipal authorities ignored long-pending issues despite repeated complaints; zone-B zonal commissioner Neeraj Jain failed to respond.
