By-polls announced on 6 Assembly & 1 Lok Sabha seat of Bengal on Nov 13
On election day in Liluah, Howrah, a half-hour downpour exposed significant flaws in the Municipal Corporation's drainage system. The sudden rain resulted in knee-deep water, causing even Toto and Bullet vehicles to get stuck, creating widespread disruption. Frustrated residents voiced their anger, highlighting the persistent neglect of basic infrastructure issues.
"During elections, politicians come only to ask for votes but no one ever pays attention to the basic problem of Howrah's drainage and we are dying. We are forced to live," lamented one resident, reflecting the community's longstanding grievances.
