AGARTALA, May 11 : Incessant rain over the past few days coupled with poor drainage system has caused difficulties to people of Agartala as they have to face water logging on the roads, and are exposed to outbreak of diseases as the rain has flooded their houses.
On the other hand most of the Manik’s close officials, IAS officers known for high bootlicking skills have already enjoyed multiple foreign trips along with their family in the name of AMC (Agartala Municipal Corporation) and eye catching subjects like “Urban Development”, revamping sewage systems etc by wasting Govt. money.
At the end, all they did is closing all drains open tops with concrete covering so that NO ONE need to clean mud, soil, and garbage from drains. As a result, after little rain, clogging drains force water flooding the streets and roads turn into drains.
Many IAS officials like Kiran Gitte went Singapore, foreign countries for the namesake of learning City planning, Drainage system lessons but nothing was done. These IAS officials had no problem in fooling dumb heads in AMC to ensure their foreign vacations. AMC (Agartala Municipal Corporation) under aged Mayor Dr. Prafullajit Sinha is unable to control the higher officials, city planning and revamping drainage systems. AMC in conjunction with PWD turned Agartala city a nightmare for residents.

"We are facing a lot of problems, children are not able to go to their schools, and even office goers are facing difficulties. Moreover, insects and other slimy creatures have started coming out," said Mousumi Roy, another resident. The rainwater has entered houses insome  parts of the city, businesses heavily affected Orient Chowmuhani,Sakuntala Road, RMS Chowmuhani,Banamalipur, Town Pratapgarh  and has badly affected city businesses. People living in the low lying areas complained that the slightest of downpour can flood their houses due to lack of infrastructure facilities.
