Three colonies downstream of Bandlaguda lake are forced to bear with roads submerged in sewage, and severe stench thereof, for the last three days, all owing to the laxity of officials and short-sightedness of the authorities.
Padmavathi Colony, Anandi Enclave and Raghavendra Colony are the three colonies that have been given a taste of inundation way ahead of monsoons.
The residents are in a way bearing the brunt of the ongoing SNDP works upstream of Bandlaguda lake. Large amounts of sewage from areas such as Vanasthalipuram and Mansurabad are getting dumped in the lake through the newly-developed storm water drainage system.
