Ward 2 councillor, residents protest against Ludhiana MC, MLA Sanjay Talwar

Ludhiana, June 25

The MC has allegedly failed to resolve the problem of overflowing sewers in different areas of Ward 2. The councillor of the ward along with some residents protested against MLA Sanjay Talwar and the MC.

Councillor Gurmail Singh Jajji alleged that the sewers in Saryansh Nagar, Deep Vihar and nearby areas are overflowing as the sewer disposal unit is not functioning properly. He said the people are forced to get contaminated water supply as sewage is getting mixed in the water supply line.

“I have raised the matter many times but the issue has not been resolved. The disposal unit is not functional. Moreover, a machine from the disposal unit had gone missing but no action was taken by the civic body. Some Congress men are creating obstructions due to which the issue is not getting resolved,” he said.

The councillor said the MC should take necessary steps at the earliest in view of the rainy season.

The councillor complained that the problem of overflowing sewers in Saryansh Nagar and others has been there for a long time. The MC chief has already given directions to the officials to ensure the proper functioning of the sewer disposal units in the city. Executive Engineer, Pardeep Saluja said a motor had developed a snag and the problem was later resolved. — TNS
