However we repeatedly pleas to incumbent councillor Raj Rani of Bhartiya Janta Party for repairing and maintaining the lanes and drains but our requests have yield nothing.
Sunita Devi residing in same lane informed Munish Gupta that few years back, the Committee covered all the drains with steel grills but now-a-days, some grills are decomposed and some were stealing. The open manholes become a porn to accident for bikers and once in a week a young bikers met with accident and authority seems least bothered about.

However all the documents including ration card, voter list and even getting testimony from Doctor, Naib Tehsildar and Patwari but their pension is still lingering on.

Electricity plays hide and seek, residents tells Munish Gupta
