AMRUT Amphitheatre: A Sector 48 Flooded Dream
A grand amphitheatre, built in Sector 48 under the AMRUT scheme in 2018, lies abandoned and unusable, a victim of persistent flooding. Seven years and countless rupees later, the structure remains unused, swallowed by weeds and neglect.
Residents express deep frustration at this colossal waste of public funds. The lack of maintenance is palpable, with overflowing drains rendering the space unusable for its intended purpose. The amphitheatre has never hosted a single event.
Local officials have acknowledged the issue and promised to address the persistent drainage problems plaguing the area. However, the lack of action to date raises serious questions about accountability and effective implementation of government schemes.
This incident highlights a broader concern regarding the lack of post-construction monitoring and maintenance of public infrastructure projects across the nation. The Sector 48 amphitheatre serves as a stark reminder of the need for stringent oversight and accountability to ensure that public investments yield tangible benefits for the community.
