Localities such as Ledo, Ledo Bazaar, Ledo College, Margherita Segunbari, and Bargolai have been severely impacted due to continuous torrential rain.

The situation has disrupted the daily lives of students, company employees, officegoers, businessmen, and traders.

Local residents of Ledo area attribute these artificial floods to an unscientific approach to drain construction, which causes rainwater to remain stagnant on the roads.

Residents claim that neither government officials nor public representatives from the 83 no Margherita constituency have addressed the ongoing issue, leaving the people to struggle with the artificial floods for an extended period.

The locals have also complanied that due to these artificial floods along with the students, even the office goers have to face the wrath of the artificial calamity.
