More than 50 Dalit families living in Harijan colony of Semra alias Galwa Panchayat of Basti district are facing many problems. Broken drains and waterlogging situation persists in the colony.
Local resident Ramdev said that the drains are completely blocked. Dirty water enters the houses due to the passing of vehicles on the road. According to resident Ramchet, he has to pass through dirty water daily. People often slip and fall.
Village resident Savitri said that no sanitation worker has come here for years. The water from the drains fills the roads. The village head is not paying attention to the problems of this colony.
The condition of drinking water is bad in Pidawal village of Bahadurpur development block. Dirty water accumulates in pits near the tap. Villagers say that neither the head nor any officer comes here.
The number of mosquitoes is high in the colony. Residents are at risk of malaria and dengue. Even after 75 years of independence, the people of this colony are not able to get basic facilities.
