JAMMU, Nov 22: An open manhole in the middle of Jogi Gate Cremation Ground is posing a serious threat to the people, who come in large number to perform the last rites of their near and dear ones.
Despite several incidents where people have fallen in this manhole and suffered injuries, the J&K Sewa Samiti has not paid any heed to cover it up.
"One has to be careful as anyone can fall in the open manhole and suffer serious injuries. If someone is inattentive, there is every chance that he may fall into it. It is therefore, imperative for the Sewa Samiti people to immediately cover the open", said Rajiv Gupta.
Navneet Sharma, a resident of Gandhi Nagar expressed anguish over the unconcerned Sewa Samiti. He said, " Due to rainfall water logging takes place in the open manhole and then it is all the more difficult to see it." |
