Srinagar: Heavy rains have caused significant damage to several houses in Saifudin Pora, Rajaouri Kadal, in downtown Srinagar, with the ground floors of some residential houses submerged under water.
The affected residents have appealed to the administration, particularly the municipal authorities, to visit the area and assess the extent of the damage to their homes.
According to reports, the early morning rains on Wednesday resulted in the submersion of the ground floors of several residential houses in downtown Saifudin Pora. Distressed families said that with every rainfall, their ground floors get flooded due to the lack of a proper drainage system in the area.
They further said that despite repeated requests made to the concerned authorities to address the issue and fix the drainage system, their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
The residents have now earnestly requested that the administration, especially the municipal authorities, send a team to the location to investigate and identify the root cause of this recurring problem that affects the people here every time it rains. They stressed that immediate action is needed to find a solution and prevent further hardship for the people in the area.
