Heavy rains on Saturday led to widespread waterlogging throughout the city, causing considerable inconvenience to residents. The city’s streets transformed into rivers, further complicating the situation in the central Sitabuldi market area, which features a hydraulic parking system. Despite this facility, residents are struggling with challenges due to encroachments and deteriorating road conditions.
The installation of the hydraulic parking system initially impacted local shopkeepers. However, despite the presence of this parking facility, street vendors have encroached on the roads, leaving no room for vehicles and two-wheelers to navigate. Pedestrians are also facing unnecessary difficulties due to the poor condition of the roads.
The presence of street vendors has narrowed the roads in Sitabuldi, affecting all types of vehicle drivers and customers. Continuous rains in Nagpur have further worsened the condition of the roads, making them filled with potholes and mud, adding to the woes of the residents.
