With dengue cases on the rise, people feel continued neglect of Muthialpet has put lives at risk
Residents of several areas in Muthialpet are facing hardship due to overflowing sewage.
The recent rain has further aggravated the problem with sewage overflowing even on the busy Mahatma Gandhi Road near the Perumal temple in the area.
Streets such as Muthalamman Koil Street, Depsanpet, Viswanathan Nagar, Perumalpet, Belgis Street and Salai Street have been facing the problem of overflowing sewage for sometime, residents say.
Cardiologist and MP-elect from Bengaluru Rural C.N. Manjunath, who contested from the BJP and defeated three-time Congress MP D.K. Suresh, said he was the “people’s candidate” and that it is their aspiration to see him in the Union Cabinet. In an interview with The Hindu, he claimed his victory was possible because those who were treated at the Sri Jayadeva Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences and Research became his “ambassadors”.
