Waterlogging usually plays havoc during the rains in the satellite city. The morning of Monday was especially bad for pedestrians and motorists as the subway near Kharghar station got flooded. <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jul/water_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 336px;" /> Not clear: In spite of the presence of a pump, the water continues to collect at Kharghar subway Locals claim that apart from the area being low-lying the reason behind the potholes and puddles is a bad drainage system.u00a0Kharghar resident Ravi Srivastav said, &ldquo;The roads are well built, but the civic body&rsquo;s laxity in cleaning drains has led to waterlogging.&rdquo; Srivastav added that the area is also marred with potholes.u00a0Mohan Ninawe, PRO of CIDCO (City and Industrial Developmental Corporation) told MiD DAY, &ldquo;Our first priority is to remove water from the subway and then ascertain the cause behind the waterlogging. A pump will be assembled to clear the area of water.&rdquo; <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jul/Rajan-Kumar-Sagoo.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 507px;" /> When MiD DAY visited the site it found that there was already a pump present in the area, but locals claim that it has never been used. Rajan Kumar Sagoo who works at a fruit shop there, says a pump has been present for a few days. u00a0Sagoo said, &ldquo;This subway always gets waterlogged during the monsoons inconveniencing motorists and pedestrians.&rdquo;u00a0 <img alt="" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/jul/Mehvish-Mandlik.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 639px;" /> Mehvish Mandlik a student of Sterling College, Kharghar, said, &ldquo;When it rains heavily, dirty water accumulates near the subway. Even when it stops raining it stays collected as the drains are not clean.&rdquo;u00a0
