Noida residents demand road repairs
NOIDA: Residents on Monday demanded that the Noida authority repair all roads and build drainage networks to address prevailing civic issues in sectors 74, 75, 76, 77 and 78, among other sectors.
The move comes after they realised that the authority resurfaces roads without handling drainage network issues. As a result, when it rains, the water collects on low lying spots of newly resurfaced roads, leading to water-logging.
“Water logging on low lying areas damages the roads slowly, but if the authority designs the drainage systems in a manner that the rain water does not stay onto the road, the damage can be stopped. We have demanded that road resurfacing be done keeping in mind gradient channelling water into nearby drains,” said Amit Gupta, a member of Progressive Community Foundation, a citizens’ group.
