Subject: Urgent Public Demand for Immediate Redressal of Long-Pending Civic Issues in Pathan Bagh, Rajbagh, Zero Bridge and Adjacent Areas
Respected Sir,
With due respect and sincere hope, we, the residents of Mohalla Pathan Bagh, Rajbagh, Zero Bridge, and adjoining areas, wish to draw your kind attention towards several serious civic issues that have remained unresolved for years, causing immense hardship and distress to the local population.
Despite repeated concerns, these long-pending problems continue to affect the daily lives, safety, and well-being of residents, and now demand your immediate intervention.
Major Issues Requiring Urgent Attention:
1. Monsoon Drainage Crisis and Backflow of Water:
During the rainy and monsoon season, the drainage system fails badly, resulting in severe backflow of drain water into residential areas, particularly Mohalla Pathan Bagh, Zero Bridge, and nearby localities. This overflow often enters homes, damaging household property, creating unhygienic conditions, and causing tremendous mental and financial distress to residents. Immediate corrective measures are essential to protect families, homes, and public safety.
2. Scarcity of Street Lights:
A major shortage of proper street lighting in Pathan Bagh and Rajbagh continues to create serious inconvenience and security concerns, especially during evening and night hours. Women, children, elderly citizens, and commuters face difficulties due to poorly lit streets, increasing the risk of accidents and insecurity.
3. Blocked and Silt-Filled Drains:
The drains in several parts of the locality are heavily clogged with silt, waste, and blockages, reducing water flow capacity and worsening waterlogging issues. Immediate desilting, cleaning, and maintenance of drains is urgently required.
Our Collective Demand:
In the larger interest of public welfare, safety, and dignity, we respectfully urge your good office and the concerned departments to:
Undertake immediate drainage reforms to prevent monsoon backflow and flooding.
Clean, desilt, and repair all blocked drains on priority.
Install adequate street lights across Pathan Bagh, Rajbagh, and surrounding areas.
Ensure long-term infrastructure planning to safeguard residents from recurring civic problems.
Treat these issues as urgent public welfare matters rather than routine complaints.
Sir, the residents have waited patiently for years, but the continued neglect of these basic civic necessities has deeply affected the community. We believe in your leadership and sincerely hope that under your intervention, these pressing grievances will finally be resolved without further delay.
The people of our locality deserve safety, dignity, and equal civic rights like every other area.
Sincerely,
S.A. Rashid
