Chandigarh, April 15

The local MC today issued 86 notices and challaned eight persons on the first day of its drive against water wastage. The drive will continue till June 30. Of the eight challans, two were issued for washing vehicles and three each for washing courtyard and irrigation of lawns with a hosepipe.

Most of the notices were issued for violations like overflowing water tanks, leakage in meter chamber, installation and use of booster pump on water supply line and wastage due to non-installation of bib taps. “We have formed various teams for visiting different localities to check the misuse of water,” said an MC official. —TNS
