RESIDENT SPEAK: A few drops of rain, and a planned city breaks down!

I came to my balcony at 6.15 am and saw the buildings and roads illuminated in the red hue of sunlight. It felt so beautiful and I needed to take a picture.

And then suddenly, there was a small dust storm and it started drizzling.

I stepped into the balcony again at 7.15 am, and I felt really sad — Master Road No 201 [the one that I can see from my balcony] was jam-packed with just a few drops of rain.

 

 

My city was planned and developed only 10 years back. How could this be happening?

When we plan a city, we think of at least 50 years ahead.

Why did we fail?
