Its walls broke due to excess water, and now pond water is flowing on the roads. This has made it very difficult for people to step out of their homes.
Although the local administration is monitoring low-lying areas and keeping an eye on the situation, their arrangements are falling short. People are trying to reach out to the government and administration using boats, highlighting their problems.
