Ward two- Lalghati, Bhopal

By shraddha desai

Vikas Nahi to Vote nahi, Ankh khol kar dekho aur kaam karo, Bijli, sadak, nali aur Pani Ka vaada pura karo- Jain nagarvasi (No development, no vote, open your eyes and then work, fulfill the promise of providing electricity, roads, nullah and water supply- Jain residents)  


Such poster can be seen in Jain Nagar of CTO, ward number two, Lalghati. Bhopal has seventy wards each consisting of some or the other problems and ward number two is no different than other wards.


Jain residents have therefore applied posters asking for the fulfillment of the promises made by the administration concerned. Only at the time of elections corporators make fake promises but soon after the completion of elections the promises are not fulfilled. It is due to this reason that the residents are compelled to put on the posters outside their houses. The ward is lagging with respect to improper roads, no water connections and unavailability of street lights.
On the other hand, many colonies in ward two are private colonies as most of the colonies have not been handed over to Municipal Corporation. The colonies like Vitthal Nagar, Jain Nagar phase-1 and phase -2, Janki Nagar.


But residents over here are facing problems as the houses do not consist of water connection due to which every second day the residents have to call tanker. This leads to jostling and fights amongst the people. The fights have many times resulted in serious injuries too. 


Not only this but due to the improper roads the residents face problems especially at night as the street lights are also missing. This again leads to accidents. Nullahs are also not constructed over here and the sevage facilities are improper. With so many problems in the ward and yet nobody is concerned. 


The corporator says that the colonies under ward two are private colonies and therefore nothing can be done. With this, the residents over here are deprived of the basic amenities.               


We are facing problems with water scarcity as we are not having water connections in our houses. There is no facility of appropriate nullah and street lights are also missing. We have complained to Corporator but nothing has been done in this regard until now.- Naseem Khan, a resident, Nayapura Lalghati,          


we have to call the tanker for water as the municipal corporation has not provided us water connection. Every second day we have to call tanker and we are facing problems with water scarcity.- Asha Sharma  


we have no facility for the disposal of waste and municipal corporation people never come regularly for picking up the waste. Indra Karoliya, a resident.     
The work over the construction of nullah is going on but this ward is lagging in appropriate facilities for throwing the waste. We make complaints to the corporation but no concern is paid towards our basic facilities.-Meena Rawat, a resident of Ramanand Nagar.   

We have to call tanker as there is no water connection in our house. Since the plan of Narmada has been introduced we are deprived of water connections. People jostle with each other and fight for filling water with the coming of water. In fact there is nothing for the disposal of waste.- Sarita Mishra.    

Since many colonies under my ward do not come under Municipal Corporation therefore I cannot do anything. Thesea re the private colonies but if   they come under Municipal Corporation then only I can proceed further. For the disposal of waste I had asked for around 70 containers but its been a year now and I have not been allotted even a single container.- Krishna Mohan Soni, Corporator, Ward II.
