Due to unprecedented rains, the low lying areas had been submerged and the citizens are put to hardship and the authorities are trying their best to resolve the issues temporarily.
We have been suggesting the home buyers to be very careful and buy properties in approved layouts, without deviation and violation, away from water bodies like lakes, Raja kaluve etc., and retain the open spaces for the water to seep into the underground, thereby, recharging the under ground water table and also the flooding.
Apart from providing legal opinion, it is an additional responsibility and the duty of the professional to suggest the safe place or the location for buying a property, but, it is always overlooked and the marketing agencies and the sellers are busy selling their properties, without any thought about the future consequences due to illegal layouts, unauthorised constructions and Illegal buildings.
The media coverage showing the overflow of the sewers is our own making. The Underground sewage lines are prepared or constructed on the basis of number of buildings approved (legally) and the approved layouts in that area, for the number of citizens living in the approved buildings and layouts (approximately) but due to illegal or unauthorised or buildings with deviations and DC Converted sites and layouts, more citizens occupy and live there and discharge huge amounts of sewage into the sewers and contribute more to this mess of overflowing.
In General, whenever an underground sewage line is planned, the capacity or load will be 2 times more than the discharge of the sewage in the area, but, there are illegal buildings which are constructed without approved plans and layouts without approval, discharge sewage into the same sewer, thus contributing their illegality in the overflowing of it and blame the authorities.
Therefore, it is strongly advised to buy a property which is approved and away from waterbodies by retaining maximum buffer zone.
THE FLOODING AND OVERFLOWING OF THE SEWAGE is our own making.
- Retain maximum buffer zone.
- No Illegal construction.
- Construct as per the sanctioned plan.
- Keep the waterbodies clean and Desilt it every year before the rainy period.
- Do not allow illegal, unauthorised, DC Converted and Revenue sites in the area.
