GTB Nagar Metro: Ankle-Deep Sewage, DMRC’s Silent Suffering
Commuters at Delhi’s GTB Nagar Metro station are battling ankle-deep sewage water, creating a nightmarish commute. Choked sewer lines have led to stagnant, foul-smelling water accumulating on the station platforms.
The situation is impacting daily travel, with commuters forced to navigate the filthy conditions. Local businesses are also suffering, reporting a significant drop in footfall due to the unhygienic environment.
Health concerns are mounting, with the stagnant water posing a serious risk of waterborne diseases. Residents have repeatedly lodged complaints with the relevant authorities, but the issue remains unresolved.
The lack of swift action from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and other responsible agencies raises serious questions about infrastructure maintenance and public health. The prolonged neglect highlights the urgent need for improved sanitation and responsiveness to citizen grievances, especially in a high-traffic area like GTB Nagar. The incident underscores the need for proactive measures to prevent similar situations in other metro stations across the city.
