Angry residents of Vidyapatinagar under ward 2 of Ranchi Municipal Corporation (RMC) on Thursday alleged the civic body had turned a deaf ear to their pleas to clear the massive waterlogging on the road linking their colony with Gandhinagar.
The residential colony on Kanke Road, 1.5km from the CM’s residence, where around 10,000 people stay, faces waterlogging on the main road almost round the year.
Over 50 residents, who had joined the protest with spades, also singled out a family for allegedly blocking a kutcha nullah, which they claimed worsened the waterlogging.
Even ward councillor Gandura Oraon joined the protest and agreed with the others in blaming Rajesh Chaurasia and his family members as “troublemakers who repeatedly block the nullah”. The protesters removed the debris from the nullah.
