Tribune News Service Ludhiana February 23 Members of the Lok Insaaf Party (LIP) staged a protest against the Punjab Government Municipal Corporation Ludhiana and the MLA concerned for allegedly not paying attention to address the problem of overflowing sewers on Jassian Road in Ludhiana. They demanded that the problem should be resolved at the earliest otherwise they would be forced to intensify their agitation. Residents said the matter regarding the overflowing sewage was under the notice of the MC officials concerned but nothing had been done to provide them relief. The LIP leader Randhir Singh Sibia said several mishaps had taken place as sewage was getting collected under the railway bridge. "Many vendors from the Haibowal side use this stretch to reach Sabji Mandi and they face a lot of inconvenience in routine. Moreover there is no check on snatching incidents on this stretch. If the overflowing sewer problem is not solved we will be forced to intensify our agitation" he said. Balwant Singh of the LIP said “People are suffering a lot. Bike riders and cyclists generally lose balance here and fall while passing through the stretch due to the accumulated water. Even some children had been injured in mishaps in the past. The authorities concerned should act fast in this regard.”
