The sewage system has not been properly developed and the infrastructure has not been tested for such situations.” In another upscale area of the city, Golf Course Road, a residents’ NGO called Nav Jan Chetna Manch, also attempted a mock plantation of the paddy sapplings.“This is the most upscale address of the city and yet there is 3.5 feet of water on the roads and hour-long traffic jams. Several people also joined the group during their mock show to protest the lack of upkeep of infrastructure in the city.Krishan Yadav, a resident of South City-1, said, “While the government is busy making tall claims, Golf Course Road was entirely choked by rainwater.
