MYSURU: The executive venture to interchange underground drain (UGD) pipes is costing citizens dear, since they're being asked to shell out cash to get their properties attached to the UGD network afresh. However, officials of the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) have remained silent over the issue.
Each household with a UGD connection is allotting just about Rs 1,000 for a brand new connection. While the six-foot lengthy pipe with a connecting bend and collar costs around Rs 700, residents must pay an additional Rs 200 to Rs 250 to the employees to get it put in.
The executive venture, intended to solve the UGD problem, has best served so as to add to the residents’ expenses.
Interestingly, neither MCC officials nor the contractor overseeing the venture had intimated the residents about the venture. It was once best after trenches were dug, and the present UGD connections were severed were the main points of the government venture revealed to the residents, who were subsequently asked to make their very own arrangements as far as getting the pipes, and paying the labourers was once concerned.
When residents of Gayathripuram II Stage in Ward 59 complained that being informed to shell out cash in the eleventh hour for UGD connections, the contractor Marigowda informed them that their contract with MCC discussed nothing about connecting particular person houses with the primary UGD line.
“Residents must get their houses attached to the UGD network on their very own, or pay employees thinking about executive initiatives to get the work completed. Our contract is only for laying the primary pipes,” Marigowda informed the residents, who in finding it incredulous that MCC has gone forward with this kind of venture with out informing them about it.
MCC is changing the present UGD pipes, that have a diameter of 4 inches, with six-inch diameter ones to overcome problems of blockage in some parts of town. The venture is being prolonged to the entire of Mysuru city in a phased method.
MCC’s government engineer for UGDs Jadhav mentioned, “The new pipes are being laid in the city under a central authority scheme throughout Mysuru. But the folk must make their very own arrangements to get their houses attached.”
Another MCC reliable admitted that the general public had now not been intimated that they themselves must make association to connect household connection to new UGD line.
