The city’s sewage lines routinely get clogged, which causes sewage to flood the roads.

Not only does this cause inconvenience to the citizens, it also exposes them to health risks.

The only way to prevent this is by taking up routine unclogging exercises.

The citizens from these areas may contact Chalapathi, Assistant Executive Engineer, North 2, on 9740984163, and Rajiv, Assistant Executive Engineer, South West 4, on 9945518971, to avail themselves of the service, the pres release added.

On Tuesday, the 12 jetting and two sucking machines will be deployed in areas coming under North 2 subdivision, including Yelahanka New Town, Yelahanka Old Town, Vidyaranyapura and Sahakarnagar, and areas under West 1 subdivision, including Magadi Road, Hosahalli Pump House and Mysore Road.
