Rajganj, 02nd September: Many families of Selterbari in Rajganj are facing problems due to a lack of proper drainage system. Reportedly, around 25 houses in Selterbari village of Binnaguri get submerged even in light rain. It is alleged that despite having a drainage channel, it is not used properly. The condition of the drain is poor due to a lack of maintenance.
The villagers alleged that the Gram Panchayat member of the area was informed about the matter several times, but no proper steps were taken. In this regard, Panchayat member Babita Mandal Das said that the matter has been discussed and put forward to the higher authorities. The work will only commence after getting the approval. At present, efforts are being made to drain the accumulated water.
