The stench due to sewage spillages, is unbearable in areas, especially in some parts of Extension 26, 7, 10 and 15.
The streets are filled with the spillages and some roads can’t be traveled on because of the stagnant sewage spillage.
Residents in Extension said the drain in the area has been overflowing for more than two months and they have lost faith that it will ever be fixed.
They have lost count on how many times they have reported this to the municipality.
The locals said the sewage overflows into the streets exposed children and elderly to various illnesses.
