In sector d of aliganj,lucknow at house no mm 203 one can see the real image of corruption prevalent in lmc where drain water is accumulating because of blockages created in the drain by house owners ahead of this house.five complaints were made from march,2015 to august 2015 but lmc officials declared shamelessly that drain is not blocked.it is now turning into a pool of dirty water in front of this house.complaints to c.m.,u.p. could also not shake officials of lmc. wonder how lucknow would become a smart city! this message was by mistake posted earlier in parks and playgrounds section on 26 dec 2015. Surprisingly the very next morning i.e. on 27 dec 2015 drain of adjacent house no mm202 was opened by breaking pucca cover of drain only to find entire drain fully stuffed with debris,broken pieces of stones and slabs.not a drop of water could move ahead of house no mm203 in the drain.how did lnn officials say every time that drain was not blocked? Further, mastermind of this drain blocking operation is the shopkeeper who is operating a shop from his house in this residential colony, but his drain has not been checked till 29 dec 2015.he managed to get the opening of drains work stopped as soon as his portion of drain started.he is known to have manipulated both neighbors on his either side to make his drain safe , hence drains need to be checked in two more houses who are responsible for disturbing civic amenity.
