SAS Nagar, May 13- Dirty sewage water from TDI Sector 92 in Mohali is being dumped into open pits without any treatment plant, making the lives of residents living in this area hell. Due to lack of drainage of this dirty water, this water produces terrible stench and mosquitoes are breeding in large numbers, posing a serious threat of various diseases.
Municipal Corporation Deputy Mayor Kuljit Singh Bedi, along with the officials of the residents' association, inspected the spot and described the situation as pathetic and an insult to humanity. He said that the negligence shown by the company is highly condemnable.
He also questioned the performance of GMADA and Pollution Control Department, saying that the officials passed the maps without treatment plants, and people bought expensive plots and settled here. However, no arrangement was made for drainage of dirty water. He said that for such gross negligence, strict action should be taken against the company managers, GMADA and pollution control department officials.
Mr Bedi said that the situation on the spot is that dirty water from the sewers is being sucked through tankers and dumped in the open pit, which has created a big threat to the health of the population living near Chandigarh. He said that there is unbearable stench and terrible mosquitoes, and when the wind blows, people cannot even open the windows due to the stench.
 He said that in case of power failure, people's houses become suffocating. He said that there are expensive schools nearby where a large number of children study, and the health of the residents in the entire area is being seriously affected.
Kuljit Singh Bedi asked the officials of GMADA and Pollution Control Board to immediately inspect the spot and take samples of dirty sewage water and set up a treatment plant on the vacant land of the company. He warned that if immediate action is not taken, legal action will be taken against the responsible officials.
On this occasion, the office bearers of the association including President Pritam Thakur, General Secretary Dharminder Malhotra, Treasurer Sanjay Kumar and members Harleen Singh Sethi, Miss Manchanda, Sunil Sharma etc were present.
