Somwarpet, Aug. 5: Heavy rain lashed Somwarpet town and surrounding villages this evening, causing sewage water to enter low-lying areas, creating havoc.
Heavy rain lashed Somwarpet after 4 pm, which had been sunny since morning. As a result, the drains next to the road were filled and sewage water flowed onto the road.
Stones and waste were washed away in the sewage water and flowed onto the road. Due to the heavy rain, sewage water entered many houses in the Choudlu Gram Panchayat area, creating havoc.
Rainwater entered the premises of the house belonging to Changappa, located in front of the RMC here, and the entire premises were surrounded by sewage water. Since the drain on the side of the road was blocked with mud and stones, the rainwater entered directly into the courtyard of the house, creating a problem.
Decision to boycott elections: Yogendra's house on Alekatte Road, Choudlu Gram Panchayat is flooded with sewage every rainy season, and despite drawing the attention of the concerned departmental officers and people's representatives, the family has decided to boycott all future elections, alleging that a culvert and drain have not been installed so far.
The owner of the house, Yogendra, has complained that despite appealing hundreds of times to people's representatives and politicians of all parties over the issue of the culvert in front of our house for the last 10 years, no one has responded properly.
If we appeal to the Gram Panchayat, they say that the Public Works Department should do the sewerage and culvert. They are shying away from saying that the Gram Panchayat should do it. This problem has not been fixed for the last ten years. We will not appeal to anyone in the future. Yogendra said that our family is boycotting all elections, from the Gram Panchayat to the Lok Sabha elections, and will not vote for any reason until the issue is resolved.
