Fatehgarh Sahib Braces for Monsoon: Drain Woes Haunt Residents
Residents of Fatehgarh Sahib are anxiously awaiting the monsoon season, their concerns amplified by the slow pace of drain cleaning work. Last year’s devastating floods, causing significant property damage and disruption, remain fresh in their minds.
The Irrigation Department is currently undertaking a clean-up operation, focusing primarily on the Sirhind Choe. Officials claim 70% of the work on this crucial drainage channel is complete.
However, local residents are demanding swifter action. They fear incomplete drainage work will leave them vulnerable to another round of flooding, potentially leading to further losses and hardship.
The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. With the monsoon season fast approaching, the pressure is mounting on the authorities to ensure the timely completion of these vital drainage projects to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of Fatehgarh Sahib’s citizens. The administration must address these concerns before the rains arrive to prevent a repeat of last year’s disaster.
