With the monsoon season fast approaching, residents of Chansma in Gujarat’s Patan district are voicing urgent concerns over the town's severely blocked drainage systems.

Locals worry that without immediate administrative intervention to clear the clogged drains, the impending heavy rainfall will inevitably trigger widespread waterlogging across key residential and commercial sectors. This infrastructural failure risks disrupting daily life, damaging property, and creating major public health hazards. Community members are collectively demanding that local municipal bodies initiate comprehensive desilting operations immediately to ensure efficient rainwater management and safeguard the region from preventable flooding.
