The main sabzi mandi in faridabad — the source of vegetables for half the city — looks less like a food hub and more like a disaster zone. Gutters, filth, and waterlogging are everywhere, yet the government acts like it’s invisible. Here’s what’s really rotting:
1. Vegetables or Sewer Water? 🍅💧
Traders and buyers walk through ankle-deep gutter water to reach their produce. The same vegetables will later land on your plate. “Fresh from the farm” has a new meaning — fresh from the drain.
2. Waterlogging as Permanent Infrastructure 🌊
Instead of drainage, the mandi has permanent swimming pools of dirty water. No matter the season, the roads are clogged. The govt calls it “monsoon challenge.” Locals call it everyday hell.
3. Public health Crisis on Sale 🦠
Rotting garbage, mosquito breeding, and foul smell — this isn’t just negligence, it’s a public health emergency. The irony? The mandi that feeds thousands is itself sick.
4. government Inspection = zero Action 🚫
Every time complaints rise, officials promise “inspection.” But inspections without timelines are just PR photo-ops. The chief minister owes faridabad not a visit, but a clear deadline for cleanup.
5. Accountability Missing, Assurances Overflowing 📢
Residents don’t need another politician waving promises. They need drains cleaned, garbage cleared, and proper sanitation. Until then, every speech about “Smart City Faridabad” is just a bad joke.
👉 Bottom Line:
If this is the condition of the main mandi, what hope is there for smaller markets? The government’s negligence is not just dirtying the city — it’s dirtying our food. faridabad deserves clean vegetables, not gutter garnish.
