Sewer blockade and water mixing are the major problems persisting in his ward. To steer clear of these problems, some industrialists shifted the entire sewer flow towards Congress councilor Baby Singh’s ward.

Newsline team, which visited Giaspura to do a reality check, found that sewer overflow had ruined the main road of the city with big potholes and water logging.

However, in the inner lane where Giaspura’s ward ends and Singh’s ward starts, the sewer overflow problem has been sorted out in a strange way.

The entire sewer flow was shifted towards Singh’s ward, and was falling in a vacant plot in front of a few factories.

Sources revealed that a few dyeing units in the Mayor’s ward also release their water in the evenings and as the flow is diverted towards Singh’s area, many lanes get water logged everyday.

The Operation and Maintenance (O&M) cell has expressed its helplessness in solving the problem. As per the information available, if sewer pipes are laid in one of the lanes, the entire water flow can go towards the main road and hence the problem of water being collected in a vacant plot can be solved.

After Newsline enquired about the problem in the area, the O&M cell came up with a sewer project immediately. They have also kept sewer pipes in the area, so as to assure the industrialists that the work will be done soon. However, the sewer line has not been cleaned till now, as the JCB machine for this ward is not available.
