PUNE: The PimpriChinchwad Municipal Corporation is likely to review the contracts allotted for cleaning of drainage chambers, in view of the increasing complaints from corporators. Several corporators have been complaining about choked drainages and contaminated water supply in their areas over the last few weeks.

Standing committee chairman Jagdish Shetty said the issue came up for discussion during a meeting on Tuesday. He said municipal commissioner Shrikar Pardeshi has sought a report from the drainage department about the status of the works being carried out by contractors. Pardeshi, who was present at the meeting, said if it is found that the contractors were not working properly, the contracts would be allotted again.

Corporator Sunita Waghere had raised the issue in the standing committee when she said some houses in Pimpri Camp were being flooded with sewage water. She pointed out that residents had complained to the zonal office, but the problem was not solved. Waghere said that water pipelines in the ward were more than 30 years old and need to be replaced to prevent contamination of drinking water.

Earlier, Shrirang Barne, group leader of Shiv Sena corporators, had complained of contamination of drinking water in Thergaon. Barne said the contractor did not have adequate machinery and manpower to repair the choked drainage chambers.

NCP corporator Datta Sane from Chikhli, too, had complained around a fortnight back about choked drainage chambers in his ward. Sane had demanded that the civic administration take action against the contractor.
