Waterlogging can severely disrupt daily life in urban areas. Roads become submerged, leading to traffic congestion and making it difficult for commuters to navigate. In areas like Badambadi and Patapole in Cuttack, residents often face knee-deep water, which affects office-goers, pedestrians, and two-wheeler riders. Additionally, water entering homes can cause damage to property and create unsanitary conditions due to stagnant, foul-smelling water.
