MHC residents meet Chandigarh MC chief, hand over memorandum

Chandigarh, October 8

Members of the Residents Welfare Association Modern Housing Complex (MHC), Sector 13 (Mani Majra), today met the Municipal Corporation Commissioner and handed her a memorandum of their demands.

The association also took up the issue of safe drinking water with the Commissioner.

“An alarming health situation has been created by muddy water supply in MHC, Sector 13. The root cause appears to be 30-year old underground water distribution pipes which have outlived their life. This causes frequent leakages,” said RWA president Col Gursewak Singh (retd).

He also pointed out the “deplorable sanitation conditions” in the area. Colonel Singh attributed the poor sanitation conditions to the “understaffing of safai karamcharis” and lack of supervision.

He further said the height of the boundary wall of the complex also needed to be raised by three feet by fixing iron railings to stop trespassing. Waterlogging issue should also be resolved, he said. — TNS
