Haryana Home and Health Minister Anil Vij laid the foundation stone of a sewer line project in the Chanderpuri area of Ambala Cantonment this evening. The sewer line will be laid in Chanderpuri and Sundar Nagar areas at a cost of Rs41.33 crore under the AMRUT Scheme.

While addressing the gathering, the minister said: “The sewer line will be connected with the Machhonda sewerage treatment plant and the capacity of the plant will be increased to 10 MLD from the present 7 MLD. To provide canal water to both areas (Chanderpuri and Sundar Nagar), an 18-km-long pipeline will also be laid.”

The minister said he had directed officials concerned to ensure that local residents don’t face inconvenience during the laying of sewer line.

While speaking to mediapersons about the farm agitation, the minister said: “The farmers’ protest is on for the past one year. They (farmer leaders) always demanded that the three farm laws should be repealed and their demand has been fulfilled. They should have thanked the Prime Minister and returned to their respective homes. But the political ambitions of the farmer leaders are not allowing them to end the agitation. They want to keep the agitation to continue on one pretext or the other till the elections in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.”
