Abohar, July 27

Local residents today claimed that no sincere efforts have been made by the Punjab Water Supply and Sewerage Board and the local Municipal Council to pump out dirty water from their colonies for the past seven days. BJP MLA Arun Narang visited Arya Nagar and Sukhera Basti where Patel Park had turned into a pond.

Narang said he spoke to executive engineer Jugal Kishore and council executive officer Gurdas Singh about the problem, but to no avail. The residents alleged that no senior official had visited the affected areas so far. Children had to wade through dirty water to go to their schools, they said.

Narang said the council had not tried to get rid the town of the “most unclean” tag that Abohar was granted in the Swachh Survekshan in 2017. “If the executive officer does not visit the localities, how will people get relief? We are videographing the areas and the clips will be forwarded to Local Bodies Minister to prove that there has been no change in functioning of officials even after change of minister,” he said.
