  • What our Stakeholders say

    KEIIP brought in sewerage pipeline connections and the drains are now covered with proper roads. Earlier the alleys would be flooded, with the slightest of downpours. The drain water would flood the roads and the whole area would be swampy and wet. Now, rain water does not stand and the roads remain dry. There are less mosquitoes and flies and hence less number of people suffer from diarrhea, dengue or malaria in my area.

  • What our Stakeholders say

    I am very much excited that such a great initiative is being undertaken by KEIIP & KMC and the long standing problem of water logging in our locality will be gone forever. However, in the process, we too have suggestions and queries and I am really happy to see that the contractors maintain a complaint record register and their status are monitored. Soon there will be no waterlogging in my neighbourhood.
