Nagpur. On one hand, the Ganga of development is being shed in the city and on the other hand, basic facilities are still missing in many areas. Even after agitating citizens and demanding several times from the administration, there is no improvement. Gutter line has not yet reached in many settlements of Hudkeshwar area. People still have to depend on septic tanks. The water of wells in the area is getting contaminated due to septic tanks. The result of not paying attention by the Municipal Administration is that even after being included in the city, the pace of development has slowed down.
About 7 years ago, the Hudkeshwar-Narsala area was included in the municipal limits. It was expected that the development would gain momentum, but even now there is a lack of facilities in many settlements. Roads are not being built at the pace they should be. Once the road is built, it is not repaired for years. In many settlements of Hudkeshwar, the gutter and drainage lines have not been laid yet. During the rainy season, the water flowing on the roads either enters the houses of the people or gets stored in the vacant plots. It is necessary that the gutter line has been laid in the settlements of Pipla Gram Panchayat area.
septic tank system
Due to lack of gutter lines, people have septic tanks in their homes. During the rainy season, the septic tanks get filled with water. In this condition every year the cost of emptying the septic tank has to be borne. Well water is getting contaminated because of septic tanks. The tap line has reached but due to the absence of gutter line, the problem of the people has not been solved. It is said that under the Hudkeshwar-Narsala development plan, a proposal of about 150 crores was prepared for the gutter line. The power in the state changed before the final approval of the file in the ministry. Since then till now the plan of the gutter line is gathering dust.
indifferent attitude of public representatives
There has been a neutral attitude of the public representatives in resolving the problems of the people. Until the last assembly elections, Hudkeshwar-Narsala was included in the Kamathi assembly constituency but joined the city in the municipal elections. The result of not paying serious attention to the councilors and not putting pressure on the administration is that till now the gutter line is stuck. The MLA of the area is also not paying attention to this. This is the reason why this issue was not raised even once in two years. Now after a few days the municipal elections are going to be held. This is the reason that the contact of the councilors with the public has started, but the citizens are reminding them of the old promises.
