He alleged that "I had sent a letter to senior DTRO before the monsoon season to get wipers repaired under pre-monsoon preparations that is done every year, but there were no preparations till now."

He claimed he had submitted complaints in writing to the office of senior DTRO. To this, senior DTRO replied he had forwarded application to shed officials directing them to change wipers, but no action was taken till now.
