Pallavaram Municipality — sewage water flows in the streets

Address:

600043

Date of the Incident: The incident which we are reporting we are facing for past 5 months (1st week of April)

Street Address: No 5 Thennanthopu Street, Zamin Pallavaram Chennai -43
(Opposite to St.Marys School)

Issue Description:
We are facing issues with Sewage water getting released on the roads. There was an empty ground near my house and 3 yrs before they put a board stating it was a school ground (St.Mary's school). 5 months before the School owner leased that ground for a builder for some period.

The Builder who acquired that land, started putting up tents without following any procedure like getting permission from Electricity board, getting permission Pallavaram corporation for linking Sewage. Initially there were some 5 to 10 members now there were around 100 members (mostly from North India) they are labor workers.

They didn't have proper drainage facility as they are unauthorized. Due to this problem they left their sewage water on the roads polluting the entire street. I hereby attached the Photos below to show the extent of damage caused due to this issue.

We have sent a complaint to Pallavaram Municipality, Chennai City Police Commissioner, Pollution Control Board, Assistant Engineer TNEB and CM Special Cell regarding this issue in the month of April 2017. We received only the acknowledgement letter that we have received from them.

There is no action taken from any of these government organizations listed above. Day by day sewage water is getting higher on the roads. Due to which we are getting lot of mosquitoes . We are now afraid that whether this problem will end up in getting dengue fever in our area.

If that going to happen then the negligence due to above government bodies for the past 5 months is the sole reason for this Problem. We want the government officials to look in to this issue on utmost priority.
