The underpass, a crucial link between Viman Nagar, the airport, and Kalyani Nagar, has been plagued by flooding and waterlogging. Sukhrani also pointed out that the PMC had previously claimed to have found mattresses and pillows clogging the stormwater drains but has since failed to resolve the issue.

Residents are now calling for the PMC Commissioner to issue show-cause notices and suspend officers who have neglected their duties, further questioning the lack of pre-monsoon maintenance. “This is a matter of public safety, and the PMC’s response has been inadequate,” added Sukhrani.

Photographs taken on September 4 show continued waterlogging at the site, prompting renewed calls for immediate action.
