“Good Morning Sir !We, the residents of New allapur, borabanda have been facing severe problems in our lane. For the purpose of new severage lines, the roads have been inundantly dug and left unrav-elled. The work has been halted for 20 days and have shallowed stagnant severage water logging into it, leading to stringent, untolerable foul smell and has simultaneously become home to several dreadful disease causing mosquitos, germs and bacteria. I would humbly request you to show your interest in this regard as quickly as possible. Thanks You!
