JAMSHEDPUR – A long-neglected blocked drain near Telco Square has created hazardous conditions on the DVC-JEMCO main road.
The drainage issue has persisted for several years now. Waterlogging has damaged the road surface severely. Meanwhile, deep potholes pose risks to commuters daily.
Growing Frustration
Local residents have approached JNAC multiple times. However, their complaints remain unaddressed. Moreover, nearby companies have shown no interest in resolving the issue.
“Every day brings new accidents here,” remarked a concerned resident. Meanwhile, vehicle owners report significant damage to their automobiles.
Community Action

Health Concerns
The stagnant water creates additional problems for locals. Meanwhile, mosquito breeding has become a major concern. Furthermore, daily commuters struggle to navigate the damaged road.
