Rains hit jammu

Rains hit Jammu, road turn nullahs Jammu Feb 11-Sudden downpur hit jammu forcing people to take shelter under the fly-over and wherever they could save themselves from the wrath of the raingod. Hundreds of school going students, college girls in beautiful whites and common folks were caught in the sudden rain and hail that turned Jammu roads into a sheet of white, if only for a few minutes. Situated on the foothills of Shivaliks, the city roads which have troughs and crests turned into virtual streams making to difficult for the people to commute. Perhaps this is one of the aspects which will need the immediate concern of the newly elecred corporators of Jammu Municipal Corporation which has been elected after a long gap of twenty seven years. Perhaps the City needed it at this time as the primitive drainage system, the water supply, electricity and the entire civic life of the city is in a mess. There are few public toilets in Jammu, and those which exist are absolutely in shambles. The bus stand turned into a muck zone whereas the Jewel Chowk instantly turned into a gutter with sewerage water flowing from all parts of the city. Jammu perhaps needs a cultural, physical and emotional renaissance.
