Tambaram Municipality — Discharge of sewage water by Regal Wood apartment on street

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am K Shiva Kumar, residing at No. 37, 2nd Cross Street, Balaji Nagar, Madambakkam Post, Tambaram East, Chennai - 600126.

I wish to bring to your kind notice that the neighbouring property, Regal Wood by Russel Foundation, No. 60, 1st Cross, APN Nagar, Madambakkam, Chennai (Ward No 21) does not have a proper drainage system. The builder of the apartment, M/s. Russel Foundation did not do a proper drainage work and therfore, right from its construction, the sweage water from the apartment flows on to the street, there by polluting the roads which is used not only by the residents of this area but also the numerous people who use this road to numeruos educational & commercial establishment nearby. The residents of the locality are therefore expose to numerous health hazards due to the overflowing sewage water.

While the occupants of the apartment know and see the sewage water flowing onto the street and creating a serious health hazard for the residents & common people, they are conveinetly & wilfully ignorant about it. Despite informing them to seriously look at resolving the issue, they are not making any collective efforts to resolve the situation.

Few months ago also, all the residents of this area had sent complaints to Tambaram Municoipality, highlighting the issues. While few people came and saw the problem for themselves, no permanent resolution was found. They only discussed the probable reasons, drained some water & left.

This is not a problem in recent times & has been happening for many years. The problem gets aggravated during monsoon season when the discharge of water is greater.

The reason that none of the occupants of the apartment are very seriously concerned about the threat caused to the general public is due to the fact that the sewage water does not flood their homes and it flows to the street. Hence, they conveniently overlook the issues.

I had personally sent a mail to the builder M/s. Russel Foundation on 08 May 2019, there has been no visible attempts to resolve this issue.

I am sending this mail on behalf of all the residents of this locality who are greatly inconvinced by this long standing issue and are extremely concerned about the outbreak of any epidemic, particularly at this time when the entire world is trying & fighting hard to stay safe from COVID-19.

I hope & pray that the concerned government official make a urgent note of this complaint and do the needful to resolve this issue permanently and save the citizens of this community from any helath hazard.

Attaching photos of the sewage overflow for your review please.

Looking forward to your support & timely action.

Best Regards,

K Shiva Kumar
