An elderly couple struggle to avoid a fall while walking past an uncovered portion of a sewer on the footpath near the entry point of National Mental Health Institution and National Institute of Kidney Disease and Urology in the capital. The road nearby also gets muddy even in the slightest bit of rain, forcing patients and their attendants to walk on the unfinished footpath risking their lives. The place might turn into a trap for those who use the walkway especially during night. The vendors in the area said people got injured there before. The photo was taken yesterday.
