KHAGARIA: Deprived of basic amenities like better roads and functional drainage system, monsoon always leaves almost all the roads covered with dirty water and a number of localities waterlogged. In absence of proper drainage system, waterlogging has become a perennial problem for the residents in the town.
Bajrang Bajaj, a trader of Sagarmal Chowk locality, said even the service lanes parallel to SDO road is not walkable.

Locals said such a deplorable state of affairs is largely due to the apathy of the Nagar Parishad, district administration and people’s representatives.
The incessant rain during the last few days has further aggravated the plight of the residents of Chitragupta Nagar, Krishnanand, Bharti Nagar, Samir Nagar, Bapu Nagar. The NAC Road, SDO Road, Station Road and Malgodown Road were under ankle to knee-deep water on Sunday. Residents of the town have to navigate through mud and water. “Every year during the monsoon, we have to undergo the same situation,” said Jainendra, a local dentist. Ashok Sarraf, secretary of Khagaria Chamber of Commerce, echoed Jainendra’s tone.
Sita Kumari, chairman of the Nagar Parishad, said a general body meeting of the parishsd was held recently and it was resolved to improve basic civic amenities like better roads, proper drainage system, safe drinking water, sanitation and provision of streetlights in the town.
