Near Birsa Chowk, the road leading to the state secretariat developed a pothole, significantly affecting traffic flow. Traffic police arrived to manage the situation. Additionally, the Namkum-Rampur road sustained damage from the continuous rainfall. The executive engineer of Ranchi road division, Ram Badan Singh, was unavailable for comment regarding road reconstruction plans. A senior district administration official indicated that they are currently assessing the extent of road damage.

"I had to wade through knee-deep water just to get to the main road. This happens every monsoon. No matter how many times we complain, the water keeps coming back because the drains don't work," said Ajay Sinha, a resident of Panchsheel Nagar. Shopkeepers in Upper Bazar and Daily Market reported reduced customer visits and concerns about inventory damage. "The water reaches inside the shops if the rain doesn't stop. We lose customers and goods every time it rains like this," said grocery store owner Rashmi Gupta from Daily Market Road. Assistant municipal commissioner Niharika Tirkey acknowledged that despite pre-monsoon drain cleaning, certain areas remain problematic. "We'll reassess such spots. Narrow drains may require widening. Supervisors are checking overflow points, and necessary action will follow," she said. "Stagnant water has been here since last night, and mosquitoes are already breeding. If this is just the start of the monsoon, I dread to think what July will bring. We've been demanding proper drainage and covered sewers for years, but nothing seems to change. We need long-term solutions, not just patchwork before every rain," said Suresh Kumar, a resident of Chutia.
