Works apace to repair drainage system in Riyasath Nagar

Riyasathnagar: The developmental works in Riyasath Nagar division under Chandrayangutta constituency have picked up pace, as the old sewage line has been 'remodeled' with the MP funds in Habeeb Nagar area.

The damaged sewage line, which was around 15 years old, caused regular overflow on roads, causing water logging for days. Following the representation of MLA Chandrayangutta Akbaruddin Owaisi for remodeling of sewage line in the entire Habeeb Nagar area, the works were sanctioned through the MP funds.

"Works were sanctioned in different phases, and for the first phase an amount of Rs 10 lakh has been sanctioned, and after the completion of the phase remaining phase works will be started," said Mirza Saleem Baig, Riyasath Nagar division corporator.

Saleem Baig said that the first phase works were started this week on Habeeb Nagar main road, and the works would be completed within next 8 days. Later, the next phase will be started.

According to residents, the sewage line remained a cause of concern for days, as each alternate day the sewage overflow was witnessed. However, only temporary arrangements were made to arrest the overflow by the officials.

"After the representation to MLA, the works started and I hope that after the remodeling of the sewerage line, there won't be further overflow", said Mohammed Riyaz, a resident.
