Nagpur’s Kamptee Road is sinking into a sanitation nightmare—literally. Overflowing sewage near Shriram Towers has turned into a public health crisis, and fingers are pointing squarely at the Kamptee Flyover project by Maha Metro.
A damning report from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) reveals that during the flyover construction from LIC Square to Mount Road, key manholes were buried under concrete and asphalt—with no markings or future access provisions. These manholes link to a vital sewer line serving high-rise buildings like LIC, Garish Heights, and Shriram Towers.
Now, with sewage backing up into homes, furious residents say Maha Metro ignored repeated warnings to mark the chamber spots. “They just paved over everything—now we’re drowning in filth,” said a local resident.
NMC’s Health Department confirmed the blockage, stating that concrete slabs were laid directly over the chambers, making maintenance impossible. Shockingly, Maha Metro has denied all responsibility, claiming the issue existed before the flyover—an excuse that city engineers say is baseless and infuriating.
“This isn’t just negligence—it’s a public hazard,” said an NMC official. The civic body warns that if no solution is found, parts of the newly built flyover may need to be dug up, causing massive disruption on one of Nagpur’s busiest roads.
Once seen as a milestone of progress, the Kamptee Flyover is now a symbol of poor planning, zero accountability, and rising public frustration. NMC is demanding immediate corrective action.
