Parallel sewer in Chandigarh
A parallel sewer will soon be coming up in Chandigarh. The Municipal Corporation (MC) has announced that it will construct a parallel sewer to stop the flow of wastes into the N-choe. In a statement issued by MC superintending engineer (SE) Mr R C Diwan stated that when the parallel sewer is done the wastes will be collected and pumped in the main sewerage line.
The construction work will be completed within six months. (MC) has already informed the Punjab and Haryana high court regarding the proposal. The Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) had earlier acquired the samples of residues generated in N-choe and reported the High Court that it is against the permissible limits.
