🚨 Ghaziabad’s Open Drains: Death Traps on Footpaths While Govt Sleeps
ghaziabad, a city just outside Delhi, has turned into a walking hazard zone. Open drains on footpaths are not just an eyesore but a grave danger to life and safety. Recently, a biker fell into one such drain while simply trying to reverse his bike — a chilling reminder of the negligence people endure daily.
1. Open Drains Everywhere
Instead of safe sidewalks, citizens are greeted with yawning open drains. Walking here feels like navigating an obstacle course designed to injure.
2. Accidents Waiting to Happen
The biker’s fall isn’t an isolated case — pedestrians, cyclists, and kids face the same risk every single day. Yet, local authorities turn a blind eye.
3. Public health Nightmare
These drains aren’t just dangerous physically; they’re breeding grounds for mosquitoes, stink, and diseases like dengue and malaria.
4. Crores Spent, zero Accountability
Despite big budgets allocated for “smart cities” and “urban development,” the ground reality screams of corruption and apathy.
5. People Pay the Price
The ordinary citizen is left injured, sick, or dead, while those in power keep promising cosmetic projects that never address real safety issues.
👉 If ghaziabad is a ‘model city,’ then this is a model of government failure.
