Dated:28-02-25.The recent protest by the residents of Bunpora Tullamulla in Ganderbal over waterlogging issues highlights the persistent infrastructure challenges faced by communities. Waterlogging not only disrupts daily life but also poses serious health and sanitation risks. The timely intervention of Tehsildar Tullamulla and SHO Khirbhawani helped pacify the protestors, but temporary assurances are not enough—concrete action is needed.
It is commendable that BJP constituency president Asgar Rizvi visited the spot under the direction of District President Ghulam Hassan Rather, pressed for an interim solution. However, such issues require long-term planning rather than reactive measures. The administration must prioritize the construction of a proper drainage system to prevent future crises.
This incident should serve as a wake-up call for local authorities. Sustainable infrastructure development is essential for public welfare, and mere assurances without execution will only lead to recurring unrest. The government must ensure swift action to address the grievances of the people before the situation worsens.
