Residents along the Bhabhua-Akhlaspur road are facing severe difficulties due to the lack of proper drainage. Wastewater from approximately 200 houses on both sides of the road accumulates directly on the street, causing continuous damage to the road. Investigations reveal that the land belongs to the Road Construction Department, but illegal encroachment on the roadside land (chat) has blocked the natural flow of water.

A blame game is ongoing between the Nagar Parishad (Municipal Council), Gram Panchayat (Village Council), and the Road Construction Department regarding this serious issue. The Nagar Parishad claims the area falls outside its jurisdiction, while the Akhlaspur Gram Panchayat lacks sufficient budget for drainage construction. The Road Construction Department, meanwhile, is shirking its responsibility to build a drain. Instead of finding a solution, the department is preparing to send notices to the 200 homeowners whose water flows onto the road.

Waterlogging at Akhlaspur bus stand and the bypass junction frequently causes buses and motorcyclists to slip and have accidents. Locals believe that even a temporary drain, constructed after removing encroachments, could provide relief to over 1200 people. Residents have appealed to the District Magistrate to intervene, remove encroachments, and facilitate the construction of a drain. The ongoing dispute among officials is causing significant hardship for the general public.
