Kashmir Downpour: Choked Doudganga Partly Gets Into Rambagh

KL Report


SRINAGAR


Dodhganga stream that passes through upper Srinagar is overflowing its capacity and has started inundating Rambagh, residents said.


“The main road in Rambagh is inundated and so many shops on either side of the road have started getting waters in,” resident Hilal Ahmad said. “The level is increasing gradually but surely.”


Earlier, the water from the same stream had breached into Old Barzalla. Though the local population had managed to plug the entry level on the embankment, some amount of water is still getting in.


Dodhganga is one of the worst instances of encroachmnet and official neglect. At certain places it has reduced to mere festering drain.
