FAISALABAD: Samanabad police have booked owner of an under construction plaza on charge of breaking wall of a sewerage channel illegally.
A spokesman of Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) said here on Tuesday that Sitara Icon Tower was under construction for the last one year on Samanabad Road. However, few days back, its owner while digging earth for plaza basement broke the wall of a sewerage channel passing through the area which created panic among the residents.
He said that Faisalabad had received 98 millimeter (mm) rain couple of days ago which also caused severe problems for the WASA as well as for the area people because rainwater entered and accumulated into nearby houses due to break of channel wall.
When WASA team contacted the plaza owner, he refused to repair the channel wall. Therefore, on the complaint of Sub Engineer Samanabad Subdivision WASA Azam Hussain, the police registered a case against plaza owner while further action was under progress, he added.
