Malodorous smell as drainage overflows

Punjagutta: The drainage overflowing from a manhole in Punjagutta is causing inconvenience to the public. The manhole is located near the Punjagutta metro station. The overflowing of drainage is causing inconvenience to the public waiting for the buses and the people travelling on roads.

Ujwal R, who works for Media 9, said, "I daily have to catch a metro from Punjagutta to Nampally. I reach the metro station around 8:30 p.m after my work. There is always this malodorous smell when I come here. The drainage from the manhole keeps overflowing and there are many people waiting for buses. This issue would cause a lot of inconvenience to the people waiting for buses for a long time because of the smell and the water coming out on the roads. "

Gopal J, a Rajasthani badam shake and ice cream vendor, said, "The issue of the overflowing drainage and the water coming out on to the roads has been there for a long time. There are times when the drainage water flows on to the other side of the road. This causes a bad smell, due to which I had to shift from the bus stop to the metro station."
