Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, September 1, 2025 (Yes Punjab News)
Deputy Commissioner Mrs Komal Mittal today visited the Kharar-Landran Road and directed that immediate repair work be carried out to ensure uninterrupted movement of traffic.
During the visit, the Deputy Commissioner instructed National Highway officials that road repair work should begin immediately at the spots where pumps deployed by the Municipal Council, Kharar are currently draining out stagnant rainwater.
She informed that sewerage and storm water from Shivalik City and nearby societies usually drains into the National Highway drain, but due to continuous rainfall, this drain has also overflowed, leading to waterlogging on the road. To address the situation temporarily, pumps have been deployed by the Municipal Council.
The Deputy Commissioner assured that once the water is cleared, the National Highway Authority will immediately begin road restoration work to provide relief to commuters.
She further stated that a permanent solution is also underway: sewerage outflow from Shivalik City and adjoining colonies will be connected to the newly under constructed Shivalik STP (Sewage Treatment Plant).
For this, the necessary tenders for laying the pipeline have already been allotted, and as soon as the weather clears, the Sewerage Board will commence the work. Upon completion, the sewerage discharge will be diverted to the new under construction STP, resolving the issue permanently.
The Deputy Commissioner was accompanied by Additional Deputy Commissioner (Urban Development) Anmol Singh Dhaliwal and SDM Kharar Mrs. Divya P.
