Under-construction RUB flooded with sewage as sewer chamber damaged

Ludhiana, November 1

After a chamber of the main sewerage line has got damaged, a huge amount of sewer water has accumulated in an under-construction railway under bridge (RUB number 2) site near Leisure Valley Ludhiana.

It is learnt that the sewerage line (72 inches) has got damaged near the railway tracks when some construction work on this RUB under the Pakhowal Road ROB and two RUBs project was underway.

The main sewerage line is connected with the sewer lines from some areas of Zone C and Zone D areas of the city, as per information.

An MC official said a wall of one of the sewer manholes has got damaged due to which the sewer water has accumulated in the RUB (from PaKhowal Road towards Sarabha Nagar). Meanwhile, the construction work on the RUB has got affected as the accumulated sewage is yet to be removed from the RUB site.

The damaged portion of the sewer manhole is to be repaired once the flow of sewer water gets reduced in the main sewer line. MC’s Superintending Engineer concerned could not be contacted for comments. — TNS
