Chandigarh Mayor lays stone for upgrade of sewerage network in Burail
The project aims to provide permanent relief to residents from long-standing sewerage-related problems in the area
Chandigarh Mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla today laid foundation stone for strengthening of sewerage system at Burail village.
The mayor was accompanied by area councillor Kanwarjit Singh Rana, councillor Jasmanpreet Singh and officials concerned of the Municipal Corporation.
The project aims to provide permanent relief to residents from long-standing sewerage-related problems in the area.
Addressing the gathering, the mayor said the Municipal Corporation had been receiving repeated complaints regarding blocked and overflowing sewers at Burail village. Upon inspection, field officers found that the existing sewer lines were of inadequate diameter and heavily silted, making both manual and mechanical cleaning ineffective.
To address the issue on a long-term and sustainable basis, the MC planned comprehensive sewerage strengthening works. The measures include the laying of sewer pipelines of increased diameter, construction of additional manhole chambers and provision of new house sewer connections along the proposed alignment.
The scope of work also includes disposal of surplus soil, sand filling, road cutting and restoration and reconnection of sewer and water supply lines wherever required.
The project would entail an estimated expenditure of Rs 91 lakh. The mayor emphasised that the timely execution of the project is crucial to minimise inconvenience to the public, besides improving sanitation and overall living conditions at the village.
