The residents have complained about being surrounded by water for four days and have been facing difficulties. To make matters worse, there has been a complete collapse of the sewerage system that has mixed with the rainwater and floodwater in the area.

In addition to this issue travelling to others, areas have been impossible due to the difficulties faced. The stench from the accumulated water has been unbearable, along with too many mosquitoes which will cause diseases.
