At the well, situated at Well Road, which runs parallel to Kaikan Street, water was gushing, unhindered yesterday. As a result, the entire Well Road and the adjoining cross-street were flooded.

A check with a man living next door, however, revealed that the well had been open for two days. He could not, however, comment on the circumstances or if anything had been done by officials.
