Imphal, April 06 2015 :
Downpour for a few hours today caused artificial flood in many parts of Imphal much to the inconvenience of the passers-by and locals alike.
The roads leading to Paona Bazar were seen submerged by the rain water as various drains overflowed in the busy market area.
Many other roads were also submerged in other parts of the capital.
A Manitomba, a passer-by who waded through the flood water on foot said that the artificial flood happened due to poor maintenance of the drains which are full of solid waste material blocking the flow of the water.

He said the drains in Imphal are littered haphazardly.
This unhealthy practice has caused the water to flow out from the drains in the event of even a drizzle for a few hours.
He further appealed to the authority concerned to check such mismanagement in order to avoid such problems in the future and added that the public too need to become aware.
He also said that such artificial floods could be a health hazard for all.
