The drainage passes through GSPL Scavenger's Colony School in Shivamogga city, located behind the state road transport corporation's bus stand (KSRTC).
According to the locals here, students studying in this school often fall sick due to the waste flowing from the drainage.
Penchelayya, the father of a child who studies in the same school said, "Human excreta floats in the drainage as it is connected to two toilets. The school stinks and students often fall sick due to the drainage."
The students studying here are unable to bear the foul smell emanating from the drainage which flows at the school's premises.
