The problems of the 6th Sector residents appear to be never-ending, like it is for many other sectors in HSR Layout. The latest story is about how the residents residing on one stretch of 11th Main are forced to put up with overflowing sewage on the roads for the last six months and counting.
“This is happening opposite House Number 96,” Gopal told Residents Watch. “The doctor who resides in it has contacted just about everybody, from corporator to MLA to the BWSSB engineers, but a permanent solution is yet to be found. Whenever we complain, they just do a patchwork, but within a few days, the overflow happens again. I have even tweeted to the BWSSB chairman but it has been of no use so far.”
When the residents complained initially, the BWSSB tried to clear the blockage with a small machine. “When that didn’t work, they said they would get a bigger machine, but that hasn’t happened yet,” says Jalan. “Ideally, they should lay a new sewerage pipeline along the entire length of 11th Main to permanently resolve this problem.”
