[Resolved]  Chennai Corporation — seepage in manholes

Laying of new roads / relaying of existing ones are being done. I have noticed that most of the time the heavy machinery employed break or cut the existing water lines / EB lines /telephone lines and sewage lines multiplying the common man's problems and those of the civic authorities as well. When requested to attend there is a lot of grumbling and discontent and the workers rightly ask the wrong common man how many such problems can we go on attending? When sewege line leaks are not repaired and water leaks are also not attended to... there is contamination...water and sewage flows on the roads and there is a lot of problem after the rains not to mention mosquito bites, malaria, dengue, typhoid etc.Rain water harvesting turns into a tragedy since the water turns unpotable as well as it seeps through layers of sewage including chemicals used for washing and cleaning. All this is because the breakages are literally swept under the newly laid roads!! I shudder to have a look at the overall underground picture in Chennai City! There is open garbage above and closed filth below! Doesn't our city deserve something better from us?
