The locals said, about 50 meters of Nallah has been left incomplete by RDD.
Youdhvir Singh, Councilor Ward No. 73 told the Mayor and JMC Commissioner that the incomplete Nallah causes a lot of problems in every rainy season by damaging household items of locals and poses threat to human lives in low lying areas as water enters in the residential areas even upto seven ft in height affecting 500 to 700 families.
Speaking on the occasion the Mayor said that UEED has prepared an estimate of Rs 17.36 lakh to complete the construction work of left over portion of the Nallah.
