In Goradih, Bhagalpur district, severe waterlogging has become a major issue on the main road, just about 100 meters from the police station and block office. The overflow of drain water onto the road is causing significant inconvenience for local residents and commuters.

According to locals, there is a lack of proper drainage systems in the area. Due to the drains not being cleaned for a long time, even light rain transforms the road into a pond. This waterlogging daily affects hundreds of people traveling between Goradih and Bhagalpur.

The submerged road hides potholes, leading to frequent accidents where motorcyclists and pedestrians fall and get injured. The stagnant, dirty water also emits a foul odor, increasing the risk of diseases like dengue and malaria in the region. Furthermore, businesses of shopkeepers along the road are also negatively impacted.

Villagers have urged the district administration to promptly clean the drains and repair the road to provide a permanent solution to this serious problem and bring relief to the people.
