Mandya: Vendors in Kr Pete in the Mandya District are in a condition of extreme concerns after they lose goods and materials cumulatively worth Rs 1 Crore after the flooding of a low market area on Saturday on Saturday.
KR Pete records continuous rain on Saturday, exposing poor infrastructure in the lowland area, where water flows to the house and shop.
Clothing, cellphone, and provisions on food ingredients are among the water victims who radiate.
Garment shop vendors must hang all wet clothes to dry in convention centers.
Many of them pointed to stains on clothes, abandoned by waste that rushed inside the shops along with rainwater, and said they could no longer be sold.
Mahendra Patel, a garment shop vendor in Kr Pete, said, “New clothes in various stores worth almost Rs 80 Lakh have been completely destroyed or colored by waste.
If the sewer is not clogged, rainwater will not spur into our shops and destroy our stock It has been going on for the past 10 years.
They also attacked the authority of the citizenship to ignore to clear the congestion channels.
However, officials at KR Pete Town Municipality, blamed vendors and residents to connect drainage pipes to their homes.
“Vendors may not install pipes between waterways and stores or houses.
When there is heavy rain, these pipes turn into obstacles to flow waste, and the waterways are clogged,” said an official.
