EAC and administrator Chumukedima Town Council (CTC) Er. Seyiekhrietuo Solo in a through a notification has directed all ward authorities to mandatorily carry out a social work on September 29 (Wednesday) in view of the survey for drainage system within the jurisdiction.
Solo said that flooding in most cases were not due to the lack of drainages but due to blockages and non maintenance of existing drains and obstructions caused by unregulated developmental activities and a general lack of civic sense. In this regard, all ward authorities have been asked to put special emphasis on clearing clogged drains, reclamation of old original drainages blocked/left unused and cleaning of inlets of storm water drains.
After completion of the social work, CTC will inspect all wards and initiate measures accordingly, Solo added.
