Rainwater flooding spoils the mood of this shop manager

Report and photo by Shakti Balaji

The very sight of rain disappoints some.

Trevor, the manager of Azure - a textile shop on C P Ramaswamy Road, Alwarpet. Even the slightest of rain causes water-logging in the area in front of his shop as the road is higher than this area. 

On rainy days, customers here are few. 


Says Trevor "Whenever the road is damaged, the Corporation just applies layers of cement on the road to conceal the damage. That is why the roadside is higher. If there is so much of dirty water logged in front of the shops, how can customers come in?"
