Rains in Belagavi show shortfalls in the Smart City Project

The Smart City project in Belagavi has been affected by the continuous rain for one hour every day for three days. Mere hourly rain has exposed the state of infrastructure, with garbage disposal, roads, and drainage systems being affected the most. The torrential weather highlights citizens' concerns about the lack of a scientific drainage system.

For almost an hour, commercial complexes and houses in Belagavi were flooded. This included Maruti Galli, Kadolkar Galli, Khanjar Galli, Pangul Galli, Bhendi Bazaar, Old PB Road, and the Shahpur area. Immense damage elsewhere was reported. The callous attitude of the officials and the people's representatives has irked the citizens. The drainage system is in poor shape since gutters are frequently obstructed, making it impossible for precipitation to enter them. Rainwater combines with gutter water to run on the roadways. It is impossible for cars and pedestrians to cross contaminated water. The major challenge facing Belagavi city, according to many who have suffered in different regions, is the massive volumes of rainfall that collect in some areas and cause traffic problems.

Officials from the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) said that because several drains and canals have been encroached upon, the issue of rainfall is growing worse every year. Legislators and corporations alike must pledge to act in an unbiased manner. Only then can the drain-related issue be resolved.

According to Mayor Savita Kamble, suitable action will be taken shortly. They are currently debating a long-term strategy to stop sewage water from getting into homes, businesses, and roadways.

Sharad Patil, an automobile businessman on Fort Road, said that the sewage water was stagnant on the road due to unscientific work and a lack of timely preparation to face the rainy season. He said that waste was filling up the drains and causing problems. He also mentioned that in many houses in low-lying areas, the sewage water went up to the kitchen, which meant that the plans of the Smart City were faulty. He hoped that the Belagavi City Corporation and the district administration should focus on this problem and solve it.
