Sewerage project for katchi abadis in the doldrums
Work on a much-trumpeted sewerage system project worth over Rs1 billion for katchi abadis of the city has failed to kick off despite the passage of several years, while the sewage of hundreds of such settlements continues to flow into storm-water drains, which not only poses a serious threat to public health and the city's environment, but also plays havoc with the life and property of the people in the rainy season.
