Kerala Water Authority — drainage problem unresolved

Address:695014

I am residing at navaneetham, klra 44a, kukkiliya lane, jagathy, trivandrum:695 014.. This road is the one which goes from dpi junction to gandhi nagar and cotton hill road with govt. V hss school for deaf and dumb and amrita tv and several residences.

During the last one month, drainage water from the above school and other residences on the main road has been entering my compound through the drainage line, comes out through the manhole in my premises, flows through my compound, then flows out into the road past several houses in my neighbourhood. The smell of this water and the tremendous health hazards the sewage is causing to my family and the other residences is awful.
Repeated complaints have been lodged through phone to the office of the assistant engineer, drainage/kwa, pippinmoodu, sasthamangalam by me, the resident's association people of kukkiliya lane resident's association (Klra) and the local councillor of tvm corporation as our area is coming under their control. After several calls, workers who just clean the blocked drain and manhole on the road come and the block eases temporarily for half a day or so. The block and the overflow recurrs within a day. These workers have now started hesitating to attend to the complaints as they have found the reason is due to damaged drainage pipes in the road and the manhole which gets filled up with dirt and soil causing the block.

This matter has been brought ot the notice of the above office several times through phone (Almost thrice daily) personal visits by muself, councillor and representatives of our klra. Written complaints also have been lodged by klra and myself to the ae explaining the difficult situation and the urgent need to repair /replace the pipes /manhole and find a permannet solution. However no action is being initiated by that office. Matter was also referred to higher ups like exe, engineer at jalabhavan, vellayambalam, and pattoor.. No steps are being taken and our problem is getting magnifies with serious health threats. They keep saying when reminded that they have other urgent matters to solve clearly indicating that this problem of ours is not urgent for them.

I hereby humbly request you to kindly issue orders to the concerned to urgently repair the damaged pipes and manhole in kukkiliya lane and stop the flow of sewage through my house compound and the road.

Hope you will realise the seriousness and order immediate steps.

Regards

Vinayachandran
