bjp-councillor-cuts-b-day-cake-in-sewage-to-protest-civic-neglect

In a strange way to raise awareness of what he calls civic apathy, BJP councillor Kishan Nayak chose to celebrate his birthday inside a drainage system filled with sewage water. From images of the event, Nayak can be seen standing inside the polluted water along with other people from the community while he cuts a birthday cake that is put on a table set inside the drainage system.

 

Nayak said that although there had been many complaints, the civic authorities from the Agra Municipal Corporation were unable to solve the problem of open sewers and unsanitary conditions. He, further, added that the civic authorities had deliberately turned a blind eye to the complaints raised by the community members, and he had no other option left except to raise his voice using such radical means.
