They also inspected the Jamalpur sewer treatment plant (STP). Zonal Commissioner Neeraj Jain, Chief Engineer Ravinder Garg and SE Praveen Singla were among other officials present.

They said there were a number of low-lying areas in the Ludhiana East constituency and necessary directions had been issued to officials concerned to check waterlogging.

Grewal said the residents would receive full support and relief from the government for the damages caused by rains to their properties/houses.
