Clogged with garbage and damage

The jhora next to Paljor Stadium, which had broken its banks on 08 June last year and washed away a portion of the children’s park there, de-stabilised the hillside gallery [of the stadium], and eroded the foundation of the chowkidar’s quarters. Some of the concrete debris still remains in the jhora which now looks clogged with garbage and damage. With just a few months for the monsoon to arrive, another repeat of last year’s events appears inevitable if no action taken soon. The CCTVs being mounted at jhoras in the capital to watch against dumping might discourage future transgressions, but what about clogs which have remained uncleared for far too long.
