Two hours of rain and the ‘Smart City’ is submerged; a doctor is treating animals while standing in three feet of water…

Just two hours of rainfall in Moradabad, UP, have exposed the reality of the Municipal Corporation’s claims. Look at the images—does this look like a village or a small town lacking the amenities expected of a city? It is neither; this is a ‘Smart City’—CM Yogi’s Smart City. These images are from Moradabad. The striking fact is that a mere two hours of rain have laid bare the Municipal Corporation’s shortcomings. Water levels have risen to 4–5 feet in places; these photos show the Moradabad veterinary hospital and the surrounding area, where just two hours of rain have wreaked havoc on the city. The situation is such that the veterinary doctor is forced to sit in 2–3 feet of murky water while performing treatments.
