UN ATTENDED OPEN DRAIN AND CHOKED SEWER LINES IN L-POCKET SHEIKH SARAI, PHASE-II

This is to bring the attention of the concerned authorities that, despite of our various requests for De-Silting of Open Drain, Sewer Line, Nallah & Nalis at DDA Flats, Pocket “L” Sheikh Sarai-II, New Delhi, it has not been done by the Sanitation Dep’t of MCD for the last so many years due which most of the sewer lines are blocked and are full of filthy water, garbage, malwa and other materials.

This colony has been constructed by DDA in 1983. The design of the building was Ground+ 2 1/2 storey and the public health designs were designed accordingly. But toady most of the buildings are ground + 4 storied. Due to these additional units constructed sewerage/waste water load increased and the pipe lines/manholes are chocked. Because of the chocking the pipe line, back flow in ground floor is a common problem in this area. Over flow of sewerage/waste from manholes/gully traps in most of the shafts are there and water is going under the foundation of the building which is very dangerous for the durability of the structure. The overflow of these shafts is connected to the open drain (snaps attached) in front of the houses. A periodic cleaning of sewer lines/open drain with sucking machines can solve these problems.

Due to the blockage of Sewer, Nallah & Nalis, there is a grate danger of epidemic spreading in the area.  To avoid the breeding of mosquitoes in this open drain and spread of diseases in the locality, there is urgent need of De-silting of Nallah & Nalis of our pocket. 

Concerned authorities are requested to take necessary action in this matter and arrange to issue necessary instructions to the concerned officials of Sanitation Deptt - MCD for early de-silting of Drain, Sewer, Nallah & Nalis of our Pocket “L”, Sheikh Sarai-II, New Delhi at the earliest possible.

My suggestion is that the concerned authority should issue a DAILY DAIRY to those people who supposed to do the cleaning of the colony on daily basis and  after cleaning, they should get it signed the dairy from any one of RWA members assigned by the RWA confirming that they have done their duty properly.

There should be a provision for RWA executive committee members to check the works before releasing the payment of development works carried out by different departments in the colony. This way we can cross check the quality and quantity of the work.

Thanking you,   

Yours faithfully
