Maintenance of roadside drains

Almost every road within the city has got side drains. These drains carry wastewater and rainwater. But these drains have lost almost 95 per cent of their capacity to perform the functions.

We understand that the task of looking after the drains is assigned to the DCC. The Rokeya Sarani running from Mirpur Sec 10 to Agargaon has side drains more or less 6 ft deep. Total blockage of this side drains easily draws attention of onlookers. We, therefore, request the DCC authorities and concerned ward commissioners to kindly look into this little matter. It is termed little because it will not require high tech, high skill and big apparatus to resolve the problem.

The firm will of the DCC and engagement of its conservancy services are enough for the task.
