ajesh Sharma, the councillor of Ward-33 in Danapur Nagar Parishad, said several colonies and roads in Ward-33, 34, 35, 36 and 37 are heavily waterlogged. "Only one big motor pumping set has been installed by Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited (Buidco) near Gola Road crossing to pump out water from the colonies located on both sides of Nehru Path from Rupaspur Nahar to Saguna Mor," he said.
Sharma added that every year they used to get three to four motor pumps for pumping out water, but this year only one pump has been installed. "The officials have left the Danapur residents to live in a vulnerable condition. Ward councillors are also helpless," he said.

Expect light rain over next few days in city
New Delhi: The city continued to experience a humid day with a "feels like" temperature of 44.8 degrees Celsius on Tuesday afternoon. As the monsoon trough line is to the north of the city, towards the foothills, experts believe that the city will receive only light or very light rain, with the possibility of moderate showers in isolated areas over the next 2-3 days. Delhi may expect substantial rain only after the trough is either south of the city or over it. "Currently, the monsoon trough line is in the Himalayan foothills, which is why it is witnessing devastating rains. Within 24 hours, the intensity is expected to drop, but the rain will not stop. In Delhi, however, isolated areas may receive some rain, but nothing substantial is expected to happen over the next few days until the trough shifts either southward of Delhi or over Delhi," said Mahesh Palawat, vice chairman, Climate Change and Meteorology, Skymet.
