An important residential locality in south Chennai is making news now for the wrong reasons!!

Here, sewage overflow in many wards has been creating lots of issues for the residents for many years now.In Spite of reporting many incidents, the Tambaram Corporation officials have not been responding promptly.

 It was brought to light by a resident from Bajanai Koil Street in Hasthinapuram in Chromepet that the sewage issue has been affecting the lives of the residents for the last 3 years. She explained that the officials have been coming to the locality every year before the monsoons but there has been no permanent solution.

The faulty sewage pipelines has been cited as the reason for the sewage overflow here even in the summer seasons.In the monsoons, the situation becomes worse as sewage gets mixed with the rain water. Truth is that foul smell and mosquitoes breeding have become a huge  cause for concern here. This has been due to water stagnation here. To prevent this, the residents have been pumping out sewage every day.

There has been sewage overflow in the locality for the last 4 years. This was as per another resident from Saraswathi Nagar belonging to ward 22. Though this issue was raised several times over the years, till now no effective solution has been provided. The residents have been affected by many health issues here due to the water stagnation.

According to another resident belonging to Nandavanam Nagar in Nemilichery in Chromepet,mentioned  that there has been a defective pipeline issue for many years. He spoke about the work replacing the defective pipelines was underway. He concluded that the roads were damaged in the process of replacing the pipes.

The pipes in the areas did have issues and the faulty lines are being changed. This was according to a Tambaram Corporation officer.
