Faulty sewerage spells misery in Tarn Taran

Tarn Taran, October 9

The administration has failed to address sewerage issue of residents in the local Muradpur locality even after several reminders. The issue has been prevailing for the past several decades due to the faulty sewage system.

Residents of the society said most of the streets of the locality are largely waterlogged with the foul smell emanating from the area.

The residents said though they were habitual to living in such conditions, it gets embarrassing for them when they host relatives.

Talking about the issue, they said it is easy to get rid of the issue if the sewage pipes are cleaned in time. They said they pleaded to the Municipal Council officials several times to address their problem but to no avail.

The residents said at the time of installing of the sewerage about 35 years back in the locality its direction to discharge the waste water was wrongly reversed as a results of which the issue still persists. The residents have demanded timely action in this regard.

When contacted Ranjish Arora SDM-Cum-Administrator of the Municipal Council said he had forwarded the issue to the Executive Officer (EO) of the council. — OC
