As per the information, the teams snapped eight connections in Durga Colony, seven in New Subhash Nagar, and five in Bhagat Singh Colony.

Executive engineer Ranbir Singh said, “ The owners of these labour quarters have illegally attached their sewer connections with the MC lines. Some of them have submitted fees for residential connection, but quarters (commercial building) have been established at the site.”

The MC teams also recovered ₹1.5 lakh during the drive as a few owners submitted the regularisation fees on the spot, Singh said.
