Recarpeted road dug up for laying pipes in Chandigarh's Sector 9-B, residents fume

Chandigarh, January 6

A lack of coordination among various departments of the Municipal Corporation (MC) has not only caused inconvenience to the public but also led to a waste of public money.

According to residents of Sector 9-B, a potholed road was recarpeted in their area in August last year after a gap of nearly four years, after repeated demands by the residents.

Now, the authorities concerned have started digging it up for laying storm water pipes, they said, adding that the authorities should have laid the pipes before the re-carpeting work was started.

Similar complaints have been received from other parts of the city. — TNS
