The Mangaluru City Corporation is proposing to seek ₹1,200 from the government of Karnataka for repair of old underground drainage (UGD) lines, laying new lines and for filling the gaps in the UGD network, said Deputy Commissioner and Mangaluru City Corporation administrator H.V. Darshan, in Mangaluru on December 18.
This was stated by Mr. Darshan in response to complaints about untreated sewage being let into drains by some households in the city, during his phone-in programme held at the MCC headquarters.
Among the reasons for letting untreated sewage into the drain, Mr. Darshan said:
Some apartments have come up, off narrow roads, by showing the road as proposed 18-metre road
Some apartments do not have their own Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
