Times News NetworkMapusa: Heavy monsoon rain has left the newly built Malpe flyover and the adjoining service roads of the NH 66 severely waterlogged, sparking anger among residents.Locals blame faulty engineering and inadequate drainage for turning parts of the highway into a dangerous zone for motorists and pedestrians.Rainwater pooling on the flyover spills onto the service roads below, creating sheets of falling water that worsen visibility and road conditions.Two-wheeler riders, schoolchildren, and daily commuters are forced to wade through knee-deep water while navigating the runoff.Residents cited the PWD’s lack of planning and the absence of safety measures such as warning signage and rumble strips, and issued a two-day ultimatum.They warned that if drainage is not fixed and the stretch secured immediately, they will block the highway in a large-scale protest.
