Community Initiative Mitigates Water Logging Issues in Ahmedabad

Faced with recurring water logging problems, particularly during heavy rainfall, locals took matters into their own hands in areas surrounding Labh Park-1 Society. Determined to alleviate the situation, residents initiated the placement of wooden planks strategically to deter people from traversing waterlogged areas, effectively reducing further damage. This proactive approach has deterred unnecessary foot traffic, thus minimizing additional water accumulation.
