President of Sector-18 Market Association, Sushi Kumar Jain says, "During the market reconstruction work last year, the drains in the vicinity were initially covered with concrete cement blocks; however, nearly all of the covers were destroyed during the recent cleaning of drains, so the authority replaced them with metal covers, which are no longer there."

He further informs that tires of four-wheelers or autos often get stuck in drains because of the missing covers, causing damage and accidents. He also says that open drains emit foul smell, causing inconvenience to everyone. Traders of the market demand that small removable concrete slab covers should be used instead of metal covers so that no car vehicles will be stuck.
