"The road without blacktopping and with each passing year, the condition of roads started turning pathetic but none of the politician paid any attention to the area, "Gupta added.
Bodh Raj said that in absence of dustbins in the area, a plot has become garbage dumping yard and during rainy season, shopkeepers and locals People remain sick here due to the smell. The entire plot as well as drains sites has been turned into a dumping site. It attracts stray animals which prove dangerous for drivers

Raina also said that before election, all of them made tall claims of development but after getting elected they forget genuine demands even basic civic amenities.
Bachan Lal Sharma said the callousness of sanitation department can be gauged from the fact that there is no single safaikaramchari who has come to unblock the drains, collecting garbage while in other areas garbage collecting vehicle always come.
