A citizen who suffered an injury last year after she stepped on a grated drain on the road and two spokes broke, causing her leg to slip inside, marked the grim one year anniversary recently.

She reached out via a social media messaging app, telling people to send photos of dilapidated or cracked drain or manhole covers. The idea was to create awareness, push those responsible towards inspection, investigation and repair. She warned that one should avoid stepping on these grates, drains, and covers, as they may look strong, but that is often deceptive.
