Pumping water with motors from the mains invites disconnection
Officials instructed to ensure speedy completion of toilets
The Tiruchi Corporation has warned of stern action
against residents resorting to pumping drinking water using motors from
the distribution mains.
At a meeting to review the
execution of development works, Corporation Commissioner K.Veera Raghava
Rao said the Corporation was taking steps to ensure equitable
distribution of water supply to all residents in the city.
Over
the past few months, about 34 motors used for pumping water from the
distribution mains have been seized and action initiated against the
offenders.
The Corporation would continue to maintain a vigil against the practice and seize motors used for such purpose.
Water supply to the offenders would also be disconnected, he said.
Mr.Rao
instructed Corporation officials to ensure the expeditious completion
of toilets, especially those being built exclusively for the differently
abled.
The Commissioner reviewed the progress of
works on various ongoing projects, including the construction of the
bridge across the Uyyakondan for the inner link road, construction of
Anganwadi centres and the city beautification works.
S.Raja Mohamed, City Engineer, R.Chandran and S.Arunachalam, Executive Engineers, and other officials attended the meeting.
