A portion of the wall on the backside of the Mallika Malacha housing complex has lost its alignment and is leaning outward. Residents point to the unfinished end of the box culvert placed on the periphery canal. What compounded the problem was the fact that they left the job of installing the precast concrete box culvert in the canal bed half-done. It is no longer reaching the water as clay has been dumped along the side of the box culvert. If they extend the box culvert, the other two outlets further up will also be affected,” said Rathin Mitra, another resident.
