The over two-hour heavy downpour on Saturday afternoon inundated many roads of Dehradun and especially those of old part of the city creating havoc on some roads. Old Dehradun area roads on a normal day are no good. One can witnesses chaotic traffic with local buses, Vikram autos, mini trucks comfortable parking themselves anywhere, sometimes in the middle of the road to fetch and/or drop passengers coupled with shops and vendors jutting their merchandise beyond even the payment/foot-path uncaring for the traffic congestion it creates and inconvenience to the passer-by. Filth as a result of dairies flushing the cow dung in drains choking them beyond ones imagination is a typical scene that is seen. All this reflects a total lack of civic amenities, poor policing & municipal regulations and civic sense.
Out of disgust I share the aforesaid state of affair of Kanwali road of the beautiful Doon. While passing from the Kanwali road area today afternoon, unfortunately during the heavy downpour time the water-logged roads made me impossible to drive through in knee-deep water. With these photos that I snapped from my iPhone I leave the readers to assess the situation for them and hope the local administration and municipal authorities take strict cognizance of the situation.
