An old sewage line from VIP Road and Domino’s Road to Penta Homes in Zirakpur will be replaced by wider and higher capacity lines at a cost of Rs 3 crore.

Randhawa said an investigation will be conducted into illegal occupation by builders in the city and these will be cleared soon. The MLA said the aim was to keep the city clean and solve all kind of problems of residents.
