Gujarat University's Samras Girls' Hostel Flooded With Rainwater: No Disposal Even After Two Days, Student Says Mosquitoes Increase Chances of Infection

The problem of waterlogging outside the Samras Girls' Hostel on the Gujarat University campus has once again become serious. While Ahmedabad has received only normal rainfall, the students of Samras Girls' Hostel are facing a lot of trouble due to rainwater. After the first rains of the monsoon, the main road leading to the hostel has been submerged in 1 to 1.5 feet of water. Even after two days, the students have to walk through the water, while some students have to go back to college. Also, the students are also worried about the epidemic due to waterlogging. Students suffer due to waterlogging problem Like every year, this year too, there is a problem of waterlogging in the Samras Girls' Hostel in Gujarat University in normal rains. The students are still suffering due to the problem of waterlogging where the monsoon has knocked. Students staying in Samras Girls' Hostel have to walk through the water due to rainwater. Lack of drainage line, the same problem every year A similar situation arises every year in the monsoon, yet the university administration and concerned departments have failed to come up with a permanent solution. Every year, the students raise their voices through representations, but as soon as the rains start, the same problem comes to the fore again. Demand for speedy resolution of waterlogging problem Lack of storm water drainage lines and low capacity of old drainage system lead to incidents of rainwater logging occur. Even after two days, no water drainage arrangements have been made yet. Prolonged stagnant water increases the infestation of mosquitoes and increases the risk of diseases like dengue and malaria. Therefore, the students have demanded that the problem of waterlogging be solved quickly. 'Mosquitoes increase the chances of infection' The student said that there is a lot of trouble due to waterlogging in normal rains. Also, the chances of infection increase. Also, mosquitoes are happening a lot. Inside, there is so much water inside, making it very difficult to commute. When we leave for college, we have to go through water. Also, we have to wear shoes compulsorily. So that they can't even wear shoes because they have to get out of the water, which makes it difficult in college as well. It would be better if someone makes arrangements before it rains. Because every year there is a problem due to waterlogging in this way. So that if any arrangement is made, the students will not face any problem.
