Residents of Jagjit Nagar near the Shastri Nagar railway crossing have sought from the civic body to reconstruct streets that were earlier dug up for sewer-related works in the area. The residents said the sewer work had already been done but the streets were yet to be reconstructed.
After the sewer-related work, the surface was not levelled due to which commuters are facing inconvenience these days. They demanded from the Municipal Corporation to get the streets reconstructed at the earliest.
Dr Jagdeep Madaan, a resident of the area, said: “The sewer-related work has already been completed in the area. It is difficult to pass through streets that have not been metalled after completion of the sewer works. We want the authorities to take required steps for the early reconstruction of the streets.”
The residents demanded that the streets should be levelled properly and soil compaction be done in a right manner before the reconstruction of the streets. According to information given by the office of the ward councillor concerned, there was a need to upgrade the old sewer system in the area.
Zonal Commissioner at the MC’s Zone D Neeraj Jain said he had asked the officials concerned to level streets where sewer pipes were installed and do the needful regarding the road works in Jagjit Nagar.
