Corporation seals three hotels
Staff Reporter
CHENNAI: The Chennai Corporation on Tuesday sealed three hotels on Poonamallee High Road for not having diaphragm chambers and letting unfiltered sewage into the main lines.
Based on complaints, Mayor M. Subramanian, who inspected the area, directed that if the hotels did not have such chambers, action would be initiated against them.
The diaphragm chambers help in filtering the solid waste and in their absence the sewer lines get blocked. It also often resulted in sewage overflow on the road.
Mr.Subramanian said that such a situation posed health hazards to both the public and those staying at the hotels.
