Lucknow, 02 April: The sanitary sewer water overflowing at Shankar Nagar intersection in Lucknow for the last 48 hours has compelled people to hold their noses to skip unpleasant odour. Despite complaining to the Municipal Corporation officer, a tanker has not been sent yet.
BJP leader Ashish said that the people of the locality have informed the local councilor and the Municipal Corporation employees about the flowing sewer water. After this, a complaint was also made at the zone level. Still, no sanitation work has been done on the spot. Saraswati Shishu Mandir School is at a distance of 200 meters from Shankar intersection. Children going to school are facing problems due to overflowing of sewer water. There are five small and big colonies next to the intersection. There is continuous movement of vehicles from here too. People are forced to pass by holding their noses due to the flowing water on the road.
Vikrant Awasthi, a resident of Shankar Mohalla, said that he had lodged a complaint and got the assurance of resolution within 24 hours. Despite this, the sewer has not been cleaned. The problem of sewer overflow is being reported at this place for the fourth time in a year.
The Municipal Corporation told that due to the non-availability of tanker, the cleanliness program has not been started at Shankar Chowk yet, as soon as the tanker is available, the work will be started immediately.
