Heavy Rainfall Highlights Drainage Issues in Panipat
The initial monsoon downpour in Panipat has exposed significant drainage deficiencies, contradicting municipal assurances. Traffic disruptions and public safety concerns arose due to extensive waterlogging across major areas.

The first significant rainfall of the monsoon season in Panipat caused severe waterlogging across residential and industrial zones, undermining claims by the Panipat Municipal Corporation and L&T regarding effective drain cleaning. Major thoroughfares, including National Highway-44 (NH-44), experienced traffic congestion as flooding occurred near Khadi Ashram.
Open drains along the NH-44 construction zone posed safety risks, exemplified by the rescue of three children who fell in. Areas severely impacted include Khadi Ashram Chowk, Malik Petrol Pump, and the railway underpasses on Assandh Road and near Azad Nagar, which disrupted commuter flow. This situation emphasizes the need for immediate infrastructure improvements to mitigate risks associated with heavy rainfall.
