Continuing its drive against the violators, the municipal corporation (MC) snapped illegal sewer connections of nine colonies in the areas falling under the Zone-B and Zone-D of MC on Wednesday.
The action was taken against six colonies —Pardeep Sandhu Colony (part A, B and C), Shadi Lal Colony, Jot Enclave and Gopal Market —on Tibba road. Further, action was taken against Khalsa Colony on Bhamian Road, Krishna Colony on Bhamian Road and Victory Colony on Pakhowal Road.
MC executive engineer Ranbir Singh said the colonies —Moti Bagh Colony, Prince Colony, Parkash Colony — under Zone D of MC also sought two weeks to submit the regularisation fee with the MC for their respective sewer connections. The drive will continue in the coming days, he added.
Commencing the drive against colonies with illegal sewer connections, MC had snapped illegal sewer connections of 11 colonies on May 2 and May 3.
Earlier, the MC had identified 240 colonies with illegal sewer connections. These also included colonies outside the MC limits, but had attached their connections with the MC sewer lines. The drive has been initiated after the colonisers failed to submit the documents or regularisation fee with MC.
