Farmer's house collapses as village pond overflows in Sambhal district

A poor farmer's house has collapsed in Partapur village near Bahjoi in Sambhal district due to water overflow from a pond built in the village. The house belonged to Ramautar, son of Chhatrapal, and was completely damaged and fell down.

Chhatrapal has suffered considerable loss as all the items in his house were destroyed. The entire house collapsed due to water accumulation from the village pond.

Villagers had complained about this pond to the village pradhan several times. If the pond had been emptied in time, this poor man's house might have been saved.

The entire village is facing waterlogging and heaps of garbage everywhere.

Villagers say that no development has taken place in the village in the last 5 years. Drain water has overflowed onto the roads, and due to excessive waterlogging in the pond, Ramautar's house collapsed.

The entire village is troubled by the pond water because the pond is located very close to the village and its water damages the village roads. This is the reason waterlogging remains a persistent problem in the entire village.
