In a display of neglect, drain water flooded the area around Mahatma Gandhi’s statue at Chitaroli on his birth anniversary, drawing widespread criticism of the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC). A video of the incident, recorded by a concerned citizen, quickly went viral on Wednesday morning, sparking outrage on the occasion meant to honor the nation’s leader.
The incident has angered many residents, who are now demanding that the NMC be held accountable. While citizens have long endured issues like pothole-ridden roads, the disrespect shown to a revered national icon on such an important day has brought Nagpur’s administrative failures into sharp focus. The situation has raised questions about the state of civic management, with many accusing officials of complacency.
This latest incident highlights the growing frustration among locals over the NMC’s inefficiency and lack of attention to basic public infrastructure.
