Chennai sewage stinks of corruption
- Water and Sewage
- Laying of Water and Sewage Connection
- Paid INR 15,000
My mother resides in Besant nagar and has been facing overflowing sewage in the house for the past two years. The neighbour blocked the sewage connection that connected our house sewage line to theirs. When we complained at the Chennai Corporation, we were told that a new line had to be given. Over the past 2 months, my mother has been made to run from pillar to post, from Chindadripet to Thiruvanmiyur to Velachery. At each place, the 3 assistant engineers have demanded and have been paid 5000 rupees as bribes. Now we are told that the Councillor for our area as well as another superior has to sign the papers that ensures sewage connection...these two persons are also demanding 5000 rupees each.
