The legislator, however, said, “Alternative arrangements have been made by the municipal corporation (MC),through the contractor, so that the rainwater drains out from the area swiftly.

Pappi further directed the officials to keep a check on the quality of works as residents had earlier complained about alleged poor-quality road gullies being constructed in the area. Directions were also issued to expedite the project.

He said he had visited a number of areas under his constituency on Saturday and directed the officials to resolve the water contamination issue in Dharampur area. He added that the problem might had been reported as sewer lines were being laid in the area and it might had resulted in soil getting into water supply lines.
