Rainwater outside Karkala Municipality office: Locals irked with negligence of officers, members
Karkala: Visiting the Karkala Town Municipality has become a difficult task for the locals following the recent rain, as the road outside the Municipality office is inundated.
People who hope to park their vehicles outside the office too would need to look for boats, as commented by the locals, since the rainwater logging the footpath has created a mini stream near the office.
“We have already brought the matter to the notice of the Town Municipal Council officers as well as the local representatives, but they have taken no action to get the area cleared of the rainwater,” they complained.
“A huge pit of rainwater is now formed on the road, which always has a rush of traffic. The members and officers of the Town Municipal Council park their vehicles in the same area, but seem unperturbed by the rainwater there. Also, if a main road in town is so poorly handled, how good could we expect the maintenance of the smaller roads to be?” asked former Municipality member Prakash Rao.
