Delhi Jal Board (DJB) vice-chairmen and Rajinder Nagar MLA, Raghav Chadha on Monday inaugurated replacement work of sewer lines in Delhi’s Todapur village.
During the occasion, Chadha also assured the residents of Todapur Village that the damaged sewerage line will be replaced within a period of 90 days.
“Proper treatment of generated sewage can only happen if there's a functioning sewerage line in each house. I assure all the residents of Todapur Village that all and any of their problems with respect to the sewage line will be over in 90 days. I humbly seek your cooperation for this time period,” said Chadha.
“Delhi being the national capital, cannot afford to have continuous malfunctioning or damaged sewer lines. Every constituency must have a functional sewerage system for collection, pumping, treatment and disposal of domestic effluents to check environmental pollution,” said Chadha.
“Under the leadership of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, every locality that falls within the ambit of National Capital Territory (NCT) shall have functional sewer lines. No resident of Delhi will have any complaints as far as collection, treatment and proper disposal of generate sewage is concerned,” said Chadha.
Chadha also said, “I remember when I was campaigning here in Todapur Village, an aggrieved resident held my hand and said it was difficult to get good marriage proposals for their children because of the amount of sewage that would get accumulated in the area. One had to wade through knee-deep sewage. The damaged sewer line led to massive accumulation of sewerage, making it exceedingly difficult for residents to live in Todapur Village.”
