Srinagar: Frequent waterlogging in several parts of Srinagar, particularly on the Humhama-Airport Road-a VVIP route leading to the city's international airport continues to cause massive traffic jams and inconvenience to commuters, residents, and tourists.

Despite repeated complaints, authorities have failed to find a permanent solution, leaving the public frustrated.

According to details available, rainfall began late Thursday night and continued into Friday, once again exposing the poor drainage infrastructure in the city.

A stretch of road outside Sher-e-Kashmir Park turned into a virtual pool, forcing pedestrians to wade through ankle-deep water. Videos of the scene quickly went viral on social media, drawing sharp criticism from the public.

"This is the so-called Smart City. One rainfall and the road looks like a swimming pool," said Irfan Ahmad, a commuter.
