Highlighted Comments
Indian civic bodies don't know that rain also occurs in India.
But they know rainy season but why no any plans to rectify. Mostly to do with corruption.
Much needed to wash away all the human feces everywhere!
It is literally pollution.
Usually it doesn't rain so much here, so this stretch is really getting sketchy.
