Why are open drains a matter of concern?
Hampers health as the water is impure
Our day to day actions that need serious contemplation is often ignored. Be it dumping the waste and construction debris on road or pushing the road sweeping into the nearby drain, every incoherent action leads to worsening of the state of the drainage system. If the drain slabs are not repaired on time, leaving convenient openings for pushing garbage and trash matter inside the drain. The open drains are treated as garbage store, which when are completely filled up, fail to carry any storm flow and contribute to water-logging and flooding. To aggravate the situation these flooded or waterlogged areas serve as the abode for vectors that spread diseases like malaria, filarial or dengue.
