25-year-old Kadma settlement faces drainage, road, and sanitation issues
Ramjanamnagar, a growing colony in Kadma, struggles with inadequate infrastructure despite housing over 5,000 residents.
JAMSHEDPUR – Ramjanam Nagar, a 25-year-old colony in Kadma, is facing severe infrastructure and civic challenges as its population continues to grow.
The colony, home to over 5,000 residents in more than 1,500 houses, lacks proper water drainage systems.
Open drains filled with filth run through the colony, creating health hazards and foul odors.
During the rainy season, water enters homes, severely disrupting residents’ daily lives.
"We’re practically trapped in our houses for months during monsoons," complained J.P. Singh, a local resident.
Road infrastructure in Ramjanam Nagar is incomplete, with a mix of paver blocks and unpaved surfaces.
The colony suffers from unreliable electricity supply due to poor transformer and wire conditions.
Many installed street light poles remain non-functional due to blown fuses.
Irregular garbage collection by the Jamshedpur Notified Area Committee (JNAC) has led to waste accumulation in streets.
Residents like Sukhen Mahato and Rajesh Sardar expressed frustration over unfulfilled promises by local representatives.
"They only visit during elections, making promises they never keep," stated Selai Ho, echoing community sentiment.
Krishna Kumar, Suburban Commissioner of JNAC, claims improvements in cleanliness and water drainage have been made.
Kumar states that road construction and drain development are current priorities for the area.
Residents remain skeptical of these claims as they continue to struggle with inadequate infrastructure.
