KOLKATA: The civic body on Thursday started the much-awaited work of laying underground sewer traces from Tangra to EM By cross that is expected to reduce severe waterlogging in entrance of Science City and Milan Mela floor. The new sewerage mission is most likely ensure that hurricane water recedes briefly from huge areas of the EM Bypass near Parama Island.
A staff of Kolkata Municipal Corporation drainage and sewerage division officers on Friday surveyed the realm, examining the nature of the inundation that giant stretches of China Town and the arterial highway revel in every monsoon because of the absence of an underground sewerage.
An professional mentioned the stretch between Gobindo Khatick Road (Tangra) and EM Bypass would go beneath water even after average rain. “Last 12 months it used to be terrible. On a few occasions we needed to suspend visitors at the stretch between Science City and EM Bypass on account of flooding. So we decided to replace the outside drains with an underground system,” he mentioned.
The work that started on Friday has a nine-month time limit. However, the contractor who has been entrusted to lay the sewer traces has been requested to finish a minimum of 500 metres of work prior to monsoon so that motorists and locals get reduction from inundation of roads.
Before the mission used to be conceived, a real estate group used to be requested to prepare for an underground drainage network for a small Tangra stretch that attached to the major thoroughfare resulting in Science City. “The real estate group has started the work and when our mission gets complete, a bit of residents of Tangra may even get pleasure from it,” every other professional mentioned.
Jamil Ahmed, a resident of Tangra and a government employee, used to be elated on the development. “Every 12 months prior to monsoon I stay my arms crossed. Even after a couple of spells of average rains, we'd be in by means of a pool of water. Taking the Science City direction to succeed in EM Bypass used to be a nightmare right through monsoon. Now, we can hope to eliminate inundation,” Ahmed mentioned.
