On the TB Hospital Road, the shopkeepers have to suffer a lot because of the choked sewerage. “When the employees of the MC sanitation wing come for the de-silting, the waste is being dumped near the manhole, which emanates foul smell," said Jasdev Singh, a shopkeeper. Similar complaints were received from the residents of the New Rajpura Colony. Speaking to the Tribune, residents of the colony said that the entire colony does not have underground sewerage and the civic employees takes out waste from the open drain and dump the same alongside the road, which is a potential health hazard. Meanwhile, garbage dumped in open in areas like Tripri Town market, Anardana Chowk, Dharampura Bazaar, Chotti Baradari and Veer Haqiqat Rai School is another issue which has been overlooked by the MC. Another issue that has left the city residents high and dry is the poor condition of the roads in several areas. Though the corporation has laid a lot of stress in laying metalled roads, in several areas it has not paid any heed towards the bad condition of the roads. Broken roads and potholes are a common sight in the Chandni Chowk area and the Pheela Road. “Its camel’s ride in the Guru Nanak Enclave, as the road is neither metalled nor cemented,” said Jagdish Sahni, an area resident.
