Private sewage lorries in some parts of Chennai stayed off roads on Saturday in protest of new regulations. T.S. Arunkumar, president, Chennai Private Sewage Lorry Operators Association, said about 300 lorries in various localities like Sholinganallur and Nesapakkam had stopped operations. This was in protest of the new regulation of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department instructing them to operate trips only through the 14420 helpline. The department must not restrict direct calls from consumers for sewage disposal, he added.
