Every year I remind them, even this year, April, I was at the assembly,  they told me the are aware of my problem, the bridge is small and they need to construct a bigger bridge but that they have no money so I said if you have no money then make it a point that annually you’ll get the grasses cleared and the rubbish also cleared so that the water can go freely and wouldn’t have to flood me..”
