Public Voice: Valsad Citizens Raise Concerns Over Stray Cattle and Old Drainage Systems

As Valsad grows in 2026, people living there are speaking up about two major problems: stray animals on the roads and an old gutter system that can no longer handle the city’s size.

1. The Problem of Stray Cattle on Roads
   Valsad has narrow streets, and with more cars and bikes on the road every day, traffic is getting worse. Stray cattle roaming the streets make this much more dangerous.

• Safety Risks: Local resident Shubham Patel says these animals cause frequent accidents. They are especially dangerous for elderly people, women, and children who walk on the streets.
• Legal Action Needed: The municipality says it is hard to find out who owns the cattle, but residents feel this is not a good enough excuse. They want the city to catch the animals and give heavy fines to the owners to keep the roads safe and clear.

1. Need for a New Drainage System
   The current drainage pipes in Valsad were put in about 35 years ago based on a much smaller population. Today, the city has many more houses and buildings, and the old, small pipes are failing.

• Constant Overflows: Because the pipes are too small for today’s needs, the gutters often overflow. This creates bad smells and health risks for everyone.
• Better Planning Required: Resident Vijay Patel explains that while the city uses vacuum machines to clean the pipes, this is only a temporary fix. The people of Valsad are asking the government to stop using “band-aid” fixes and instead install a completely new, larger underground drainage system that can handle the city’s growth for years to come.

The people of Valsad are happy to see new buildings being built, but they believe that basic things like clear roads and working sewers should be the top priority for the local government.
