Noida: last night’s rain and clogged killing channels in Noida and Greater Noida under waters of knee.
Even though it wasn’t raining on Tuesday morning, the authorities needed until late afternoon to drain water using the pump.
Just like waterlogging on ordinary stretches, another fall of rain is also not surprising.
Vehicles that negotiate inundation and craters at the speed of the snail cause traffic to rush in various places.
Noida’s power infrastructure also gives such a time.
The population of several sectors complained about long power cuts and voltage fluctuations.
The weather department has predicted rain for the next few days and the next temperature.
The maximum temperature on Tuesday is 31 degrees Celsius while the minimum is 26.
One of the main reasons of waterlogging is the city-clogged sewer, which has been excessive.
“These days, even a few minutes of rain are enough to flood the city.
Water should have exploded when the rain stopped last night.
Because the water channel was clogged, water from it overflowed.
So, city streets remain under the knee water for 4 hours -Jour, “said Sanjeev Kumar, Secretary General of Rwa Sector 51.
Similar is the situation in sector 105.” Most of our waterways are full.
This year, we witnessed a bad waterlogging case, “said Divya Krishnatreya, a resident.
In sectors 12, 30 and 19 years, residents complained about the floods of the overflow of waterways.
Traffic is a normal victim of the streets flooded.
When the vehicle moved slowly, traffic congestion was reported until late afternoon in Kalindi Kunj and stretching from Surajpur to Keesara in Greater Noida.
Here, the police from the Ecotech 3 police station navigated water to guide traffic.
With rain and wind is also a power outage.
Sector 12, said residents, still has power for almost five hours between 6:40 a.m.
and 11:00.
Shashi Vaid, who lives in sector 28, said the area did not have power for about an hour.
Anju Pachauri from Sector 36 complained about rapid voltage fluctuations.
The only saved mercy was that the rain had lowered mercury until the late 20s.
The power department blames local errors.
“It is a local mistake in the transformer,” said an official.
In Greater Noida, Haldoni turned more into a shallow pool after a few minutes of rain.
But the locals were barely surprised.
“It’s like this every year.
Street here is not equipped to handle water flow,” said Devendra Tiger, President of the Federation of Citizen Welfare Associations, Greater Noida.
Ghaziabad, meanwhile, avoided traffic chaos with light rain in the morning, but the sky was cloudy throughout the day.
However, there are puddles here and there.
“It’s drizzle for about an hour in the morning,” said DK Pandey, a resident of Harmony Arihant in Indirapuram.
“It’s enough to fill the hole with water, but there is no big disturbance in traffic,” he added.
