30 water connections snapped
MADURAI: Corporation officials on Wednesday snapped 30 water connections in East Zone for long pending dues of water charges.
Commissioner S. Sebastine had ordered action against defaulters as the local body had an outstanding water bill of around Rs. 10 crore. Ten teams have been formed to identify top 10 defaulters in each area and disconnect supply.
A team led by Assistant Commissioner (East) Angaiyarkanni began the disconnection drive in the East Zone. Commissioner warned Sanitary Inspectors and Supervisors with action if garbage was not cleared from time to time. The local body has been removing garbage in the mornings, evenings and in select roads during nights also so that garbage does not get accumulated. However, complaints have been received from various quarters that garbage and building debris were not being removed in some wards.
