In Rajguru Ward No. 10 of Tarapur Nagar Panchayat in Munger district, light rainfall has led to roads merging with drains, causing immense difficulties for local residents. The pervasive dirt and foul smell force pedestrians to cover their noses while passing through. This route is also the primary path for people going to offer prayers.

Local residents, including Santosh Singh, Ramanand Keshri, Ajit Keshri, Manoj Sharma, Chandan Poddar, Gopal Chaudhary, Shambhu Thakur, and Pooran Thakur, stated that this problem is not limited to the monsoon season but has persisted for years. Even on normal days, drain water accumulates on the road, and the situation worsens significantly during rain, blurring the distinction between the road and the drain.

Residents mentioned that images of drain water flowing on the road surfaced last year as well, but no permanent solution has been found to date. Walking through the dirty water has become extremely challenging for people. Local residents have expressed strong dissatisfaction with the functioning of the Nagar Panchayat, alleging that despite regular tax collection, no concrete steps are being taken to provide essential facilities.

Residents have demanded immediate drain cleaning, proper water drainage systems, and road repair from the Nagar Panchayat. In response, Sonali Priya, the Executive Officer of the Nagar Panchayat, assured that water would be pumped out temporarily, and appropriate arrangements for water drainage would be made in the future.
