Encroachments Choke Nalas, Trigger Floods

Encroachments along nalas have become a major concern in recent years. These unauthorized constructions and blockages restrict the natural flow of water, causing serious disruptions to drainage systems.

As a result, during heavy rains, nalas fail to carry excess water efficiently, leading to waterlogging and urban floods. The accumulation of debris and waste further exacerbates the situation, choking water channels and increasing the risk of flooding in surrounding areas.

To mitigate this issue, it is essential to remove encroachments and maintain nalas regularly. Authorities must enforce strict regulations and raise public awareness about the importance of keeping these water bodies clear.

Preserving the natural flow of nalas is crucial to prevent floods and protect the lives and property of residents in vulnerable regions.
