Issues in the Zone
- Poor bus connectivity is an issue in Manali. With the discontinuation of many small buses, the frequency and number of routes plying in the zone has reduced, leaving residents stranded.
- Lack of a proper sewage system is an issue in the zone. The underground network is incomplete and the residents see frequent overflowing of sewage. A properly connected sewage system is the need of the hour.
- The stormwater drain project in Kosasthaliyar needs immediate attention as the zone is affected during the monsoons. Proper laying of stormwater drain network is necessary to prevent flooding and water-logging.
- Air pollution is a key issue in the zone due to the presence of the thermal power plant. The residents also face problems due to fly ash. Water contamination is widely prevalent caused by the industries present in the zone.
