He said the local residents are facing lot of problems due to the bad condition of the road and the drain.
The locals said that they have brought the issue into the notice of concerned authorities several times but to no avail.
They requested the concerned authorities to look into the matter at an earliest so that the residents can heave a sigh of relief.
